I have been reading about contract programming, and the idea is that a
program specifies an interface on which other programs depend, so in
essence a program specifies a contract between individuals.  Once you
program a program to the specified contract, that contract cannot change. 
If you want to program additional features, then you have to write a new
contract and make it public, so that other developers can take advantage
of the new features, but also maintain the original contract.

Lets draw up a contract.  The master module must at least have these
properties:

1)Open Source, and cannot be redistributed under a commercial license.
2) Well documented, with interfaces and templates demonstrating any
functionality.

I am open to other contracts provided there are other benefits.

Sincerely,

Robin Kramer

I have got to stop reading the Microsoft COM specification.
