<br>You may claim that you're an Open Source developer, but what you are pushing is not Open Source. And while cloaking it by playing with your wording to make it seem like it's Open Source might fool the average user, this crowd knows much much better.<br>
<br>Lastly, your statement of it's "goodness" is something that is open for debate depending upon one's viewpoint. Obviously, as the developer, you're going to think that your own thing is good, but from what I saw, I could slap together the same thing in a weekend and would never make such a claim myself.<br>
