In a previous life I threw some tarballs w/ a buildable OpenGL clone and separately a buildable Renderman "clone" onto an FTP server and published the location.

Some people downloaded it, built it and used it. Even added to it, where they liked.

Most people were like you.

I never share code any more.

I use gcc on Open Solaris, so, yes. I'm not an ass to the maintainers, God save their souls.
