[Labs-l] Questions regarding the Labs Terms of use

[John]

Code can be under a free license, but not released to general public. I
often help others out, or give them small snippets of my code base when it
is needed. However I will not publicly publish my code. I keep things under
a secure private code repository because I really dont want to have to deal
with the fallout if I accidentally include credentials or some other
non-public data. One of the other reasons is, I dont write most of my code
for the general public to use, if someone who doesnt know what they are
doing screws up, I dont want my code responsible for crashing a wiki. (Yes
it is possible, Ive dont it before by accident.)

I will not be handing out copies of my code to anyone who asks. But I will
review requests, and if Im hit by a bus and can no longer support my tools
then and only then will tools admins step in.
