Intellectually, yes.. Thought goes into the user-interface of many a script, believe it or not.GodOfSuicide wrote: btw, do you think that you would be some kinda bankrobbed if somebody changes the output of your tcl's ?
Specifically regarding some of my scripts, I don't deny it would be simple to un-obfuscate the code on one level, however doing so would render completely unformatted scripture, which for most people, would deter them enough from wanting to go through it line by line to see what they would like to borrow (steal).GodOfSuicide wrote: i think you actualy just wanted to block beginners from stealing your code but allowing users who allready worked with tcl to view the code and learn from it (just change one EVAL in your tcl's and you got the real code).
There are many avenues today which people can use to learn TCL... For example, going through this forum alone would give people more than enough knowledge to write a simple script or two.GodOfSuicide wrote: Who steals code has no right to get credits for it, that sentence everybody would sign (except bill gates who stole from apple). But : who looks at code and learns from it should be able to gain experience from it.
And i dont think ANYBODY in here started without looking at 3rd party scripts for learning purposes, and i must say i learned really much from what i've seen in here.
And yes, of course, there are open source scripts to learn from, which is the right (but not an obligation) of every author to present to the public for such purposes, if they are so inclined.
