| Hey all,
I have been having these questions for quite a long time.
1. How much it is beneficial for an Individual to take part in Open
Source projects in Sourceforge ?
2. Are there any other websites like Sourceforge ?
3. What are the monetary benefits and opportunities for a individual
contributor? Are there any websites that does give engagements /
assignments?
4. What is the gist of GNU GPL License? I have read thru it a couple
of times. If you can enlighten me with core idea and the trick in GNU
GPL that will really i wll be exicted about.
Tx

Well i thought it has something to do with reputation. But I am not quite
sure.

I dont know, but GNU/GPL definitely easier to understand than the 6
billion pages that tell you everything you need to know before
you understand microsofts OOXML.
