+<PRE>&gt;<i> So please tell me if there is a solution or if I should
+</I>&gt;<i> give up using Nel (but then again, please understand that
+</I>&gt;<i> I totaly agree with the idea of sharing my improvments of
+</I>&gt;<i> the library).

+</I>&gt;<i> P.S. I understand the passion behind the free software notion, however,
+</I>&gt;<i> in the very field of MMORPG, the inability to protect your rules -
+</I>&gt;<i> the spirit of your game - leaves the opportunity to a greater
+</I>&gt;<i> company, if they happen to be popular, to deprive you of the pleasure
+</I>&gt;<i> of running your game by draining your playerbase by using its marketing
+</I>&gt;<i> power. You then end up with the opposite of the reason why you thrive
+</I>&gt;<i> for free software: people make profit over your ideas because of their
+</I>&gt;<i> mere initial wealth.

+I think u just point out here the Open Source Concept as one
+of the biggest joke of the end of twentieth century .
+
+Software code in itself is not that important thing when GPL is concerned,
+and beeing able to read it and extract the major concepts of a software is
+the great thing : u always proceed with reverse engineering , - the ever
+coming question how do they do that - even when using software like ...
+those which don't provide source code .
+
+That's why GPL is a bad trick to minor companies and therefore for individuals :
+releasing code shows the overall software architecture , may let u get insights
+about hardcore coded sections and definitively unprotects the source providers .
+
+Good and Exceptionnal concepts are quickly analysed (you always need to understand
+the philosophy that drives a software architecture to be able to use it)
+So major companies will reuse GPLed code that much faster than minor entities
+- as far as software production is concerned -
+I think that instead of promoting talents ,GPL comes with a global leverage tendance .
+
+The company I work for prohibits the reuse of GPL code and tends to minimize
+the usage of LGPL ed source code : no need to ask a lawyer why , everybody
+will laugh at u if u ask and I think the boss is right here .
+Great support is provided to software users , but anyway , any reliable company
+protects its sources ( Nevrax Executives don ot read that ). Please note
+that I'm in no way related to MS .
+Isn't GPL the biggest break to creativity we ever seen since communism died
+out of realism ?
+
+Would GPL minds expect great french wine caves to make their 'elevage'
+methods publically available - I love great wines - , but who ever thought
+that we would get better wine through that way , that's not a reliable way of
+thinking and only fools rush in .
+
+
+I don't want to minimize the brightness of people who go promoting the GPL concept ,
+(I 've the reputation to use my mind in very efficient ways though ) , but
+since I'm tightened to realism in my comapany , I totally agree with GPL detractors .
+Privacy is definitively needed or the world dies out of any will .
+
+I realize i might be removed from the list after that ,
+but I don't think it will happen .
+
+Back to development and implementation , lots of to do ahead (I wouldn't be there if not)
