<div dir="ltr"><div>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.)<br><br></div>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.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 11:10 AM, Jeremy Baron <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeremy@tuxmachine.com" target="_blank">jeremy@tuxmachine.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class=""><p dir="ltr">On Mar 13, 2015 10:49 AM, "Ricordisamoa" <<a href="mailto:ricordisamoa@openmailbox.org" target="_blank">ricordisamoa@openmailbox.org</a>> wrote:<br>
