I've had three ideas stolen from me directly, of the 10 or so I have tried in the past 5 years. All three were from people trying to specifically harm me; not from people wanting to run with the idea.

All my business plans/documents/etc are released under a GPL license. I consider PDF's to be the binaries, and provide .ODT files on request. I just delay the release a few months so I can get a head start (unless it's something timely like a refugee foundation).

How do we request your .ODT files? No contact info is visible in your profile.

send a request to [email protected], and I'll happily provide you with whatever forms you like. :)

Also, know that there is a common misunderstanding that GPL-only organizations must make everything they use public. Should you not know about an application, the licensor is in no way obligated to provide you with a list of the free software it is using internally.
