Sigh, I tried
But my boss doesn't want to go for it. he thought it was a neat product, until we learned that Viewtouch only used a text file for a database, etc. I told my boss that if we licensed his code, and used it, that we would have to keep Viewtouch's open sourced license. Even for part of the source code.
Well anyway he wants me to keep an open mind for other projects. He isn't interested in Viewtouch for now. But who knows, maybe later?
Step up from the lawyers? Yeah, I'm working for the mafia now, as my boss once joked to me about it. If I don't like it, I can quit and stop getting a paycheck.
As DeSitter once told me, "Anyway I have to use MS tools for all this, but so what? I've got a job to do." which seems to be my attitude too. I'll use whatever the boss wants me to. Right now that isn't C++ and Unix. if you guys have a problem with that, then help me get a better job using Non-MS technology. Right now my area is a MS-Shop.
We didn't see any parts of Viewtouch's web site that wasn't already in [link|http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=site%3Awww.viewtouch.com+viewtouch&btnG=Google+Search|Google]: so what is the big deal? Some stuff he did like ours, others he did like "Star Trek" did prior to 1985. Great minds think alike, and idiots seldom differ. :)
