I have decided not to release anything under the GPL License. I want to maintain legal control over everything, so that we're the only place that can distribute the scripts. Since many of them involve site security, and since some people in this business (like any business) can be a bit on the shady side, I want to be able to protect the integrity of our creations (and thus our reputation in the community)....

However, most of them are php or perl scripts, and I have decided not to encrypt any of them using something like Zend. I want webmasters to be able to alter the code for their own use, to suit their own needs, should they desire to do so.

So, the license will reflect that. Free for your own use, free to alter for your own use, but they can't be re-distributed or sold.

I know the open source people would hate me because they worship GPL like the bible, but considering all, I think it's a healthy compromise.

I'll have more details when we finally get the thing up and running. Between getting a paysite finished, getting the traffic hub finished, customizing our adservers, playing with my attorney about a new corporation, and this free webmaster center, I'm having almost as much fun as basschick and her 80 hour weeks.....
