This is an unfortunate risk that we take when we do things out of a sense of responsibility. There are always people out there willing to repackage others work and sell it as their own. Things like the DUL and CDDB were not started as a 'gimme a bootstrap so I can go and make some cash' but someone decided that exactly that would be a great idea. Ce la vie. Peter
