Ban freeware and reinvent the wheel when it already exists ? are you
serious or joking or inebriated ?
@Ashok, hehehe.... come'on lets not be too lazy, take the back seat and justify " reinvent the wheel " notion. Building on apache and Mysql etc is not freeware. Freeware is about ready made solutions that are being sold to end users, under the pretext of progamming and developers. Infact, I'd say such actions are fraudulent. I hope you saw the kisstv site and the template used ( the thread was raised on this list )...what a scam if the site owners called themselves ati web developers/coders!
My point is it is a bit ridiculous to regulate re-use via a standardization and regulatory scheme. It will simply not work because the area specified is very generic ("Software Development") and technology oriented ( no "Freeware" ...WTF do they mean by freeware ? ) . Its like saying we must have standards and regulations on the "manufacturing process" ... I am sure KEBS themselves have different evaluative standards on *end products* and very specific standards on certain specific *processes*. Clearly a gum-boot is different from a office shoe -- even though both are shoes -- so you need different standards to evaluate quality. Ideally standardization should be on the end product - e.g. minimal standards for a company offering BPO / offshoring services -- i.e. does the provider meet internationally recognized data security standards ? what are these minimum standards ? etc... People will always pirate / copy / steal / counterfiet / plagiarize / break the law while driving .. there are laws already in place for these crimes ... why do you want stricter laws and regulatory mechanisms when the existing scheme isnt being implemented properly ? do you really think it will work ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There are too many factors and economic reasons that contribute towards why there is much re-use of existing platforms and thus are being used successfully. :-) There is a new possible discussion on way forward but I think programmer listers maybe too tired of attempts to revive issues that may have been tried before by others and did not suceed due to variuos reasons. Pretty complicated stuff, too many variables. Rgds. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
