Many have used OGC I created in their products and that's fine with me. The only times I have a problem with wholesale use of existing OGC is when it's used improperly (and when it's intentional misuse it seriously upsets me) or when it's dumped online for free (which, as I said, devalues the work*). And I suspect that a lot of publishers feel this way about the use of OGC.* Yes, I am speaking of monetary value. The time put into the creation of OGC has value to the creators and publishers and simply releasing complete works online, for free, makes me think that the individual releasing the material has no respect for the effort that went into the creation of that material.</blockquote>
