FWIW I have a postcards program that runs under Links SQL, and I'll be releasing it under a modified GPL, as I said in another message.
It will probably be a month or so, but if someone wants it before then, I can arrange a separate deal. The license is not written yet, and that is the hold up.
Basically, I want to place it in the open source category, but restrict its use to those with a valid license for any GT SQL-based product, and enforce the sharing of any modifications made to the code. Failure to do so, would be a copyright and intellectual property violation.
The first part is because there is GT-based code in any scripts that access or manipulate the GT data structures, and the reason for the second is that I've gotten much help from open source sources, and without them, development will stop. There seems to be that sort of problem going on now, with everything carrying a price tag, and $50 for trivial modifications to base code, etc.
As a user community, there should be a certain amount of "give back" for the help obtained, and since that seems to have been drying up, I'm looking for language that will enforce that -- or allow me to enforce my copyrights -- against sites that fail to give back after using the code.
I only posted here because you specifically mentioned a postcards script, and I have one. It's the same script running on http://postcards.com
