Can you recheck? I'm not seeing any intelliTXT ads in your articles.
BTW: are you glad to see your work in the colorizer lighting up the articles?

It's just on 2 articles, Chris. It's not a big deal for me really, I was more thinking about it being a bug.

Yes, the code coloring looks awesome! 
I was telling Smitha that at least some part of all that cool looking syntax coloring was my work

I am just preparing a new article and was looking over the CP licensing schemes. I found none that are acceptable to me - none of them include the provision "You cannot sell the source code", or something similar.
I am not interested in contributing articles that will end up on a site-scraper's CD or download. Please modify one of the existing licenses, or provide a new license based on the CPOL that includes this provision.
After all the discussion here about licenses, I am frankly surprised that you did not allow authors ability to specify "custom" license.

Hey Hans,
Could you not put an addendum to the license in your article body?
Something like :-
"In addition to the terms of the XYZ license, you are further bound by the following terms when using this code :-
* ...
* ...
"
I think that'd work out okay.

Thanks, Nish - that's what I'd like to do, but the CP Article Submission Wizard doesn't provide for "custom" licenses. You have to choose one of the listed licenses, period. I don't know what legal effect an "addendum" would have, so I think this needs to be addressed directly in one of the listed licenses. This may mean a new license, or it may mean modifying one of the licenses already listed.

Ah ok. Got your point.

What restrictions do you want?
1. Do you want the code to be used in commercial apps?
2. Can the user sell an application that contains some of your code?
3. What does "contains some of your code" mean? Would you be happy with wording along the lines of "code does not comprise the majority of the functionality of the commercial appication"?
4. If someone sells an app with your code and your code is broken, is that person allowed to charge for support calls to fix your code? (this is typically allowed)
5. If someone fixes your broken code can they sell those fixes since they are their own work, or do you want those fixes to be bound by the "no-sell" licence too? (This would make your code subject to a viral licence).
6. Can the user charge extra if including your code would result in higher shipping costs? ie can they charge for distribution? (this is typically allowed)
- No selling the source code at all? ie it can't be bundled in anything that's sold (ie no commercial use)
- No selling the code separately?

Again, from the previous discussion several months back, the CPOL would be fine with the added provision "You cannot sell the source code. You may charge a minimal distribution fee to cover media & shipping charges."
Thanks for considering this.

Why not have an option for "custom", that requires that the article poster include the terms of the licence in the body of the article?

You can't filter by free text entries like you can with a fixed set.
I'm happy to add another 20 licenses to the list but I do want to keep to a defined list so that I can add to the search filter criteria "license". We simply have to start being more precise on the conditions of use. It's stopping many people from using the code on Code Project since they have no idea if they have the rights to use it, and is exposing many others to potential risks.

Chris,
I agree with everything you say, but I would like the additional provision that we discussed on Oct. 9.
Here is your post on the beta Lounge: "What about recovering costs of distribution? eg. if the code is large or its inclusion means they need to include an extra CD (say they are right on the limit of what they can package but need one more CD for your code) are you willing to allow them to recover costs?"
To which I replied "Yes".
What are your thoughts now about including this provision?

I receive an e-mail saying i have a reply or something, and I click on the link to the message. Instead of being taken to the message, i get taken to the first page of the forum it is in, but here is the interesting part. If i click 'Next', or any page number, i then get taken to the post.
Now that is strange.
An example is:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1159&msg=2351225[^]
These half-working links are also found when you click somebodies username, and view their posted messages.

Hi All,
A couple more minors:
1) [CAPTION] text of a table is using a larger font than [BODY] or [P].
2) When using the Upload Submission Wizard, the wizard incorrectly escapes comment, so that the comments show at text in the article.
3) Pretty printer interprets three slashes as a C# comment, even when lang=c++ is specified. This means '/////////' is renedered using two difrerent styles: the first three are C#, the reaming C++.
Jeff
For examples, see Applied Crypto++: Block Ciphers[^]

1. Checked the CSS and it's not doing it here.
2. Not sure I get what you mean. Can you please post an example?
3. C++ supports /// as comments, but I will add a bug that //// should not be coloured

Interesting. IE is using a font size of 12 for 14 for the [CPATION].

In the Wizard, I built a table which I had never seen on the web. So I snuck in a "" to help track if anyone snatched it. The wizard escapes the comment charcters, so that they are displayed (rather than passing them unescaped).

Hi,
First, congratulations on your move to .NET (finally). I now expect to see some new site features based on this move
A few bugs I noticed:
1. Login doesn't always stick, even when I tick the Remember me checkbox
2. Categories in articles aren't comma seperated anymore but joined together with no spaces at all
3. Files can be downloaded also when not logged in (succeeded a few days ago)
4. Preferences doesn't always stick
5. This article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/chatter_box_chat.aspx[^] has been posted 3 times, and cannot be accessed using any of the links it provides...
Keep up the good work!
Stilgar.

Hi All,
I've noticed a few test submissions which are not cleanly deleted (even if cancelling prior to Step 4). Perhaps a 'Test Submittal' run would be in order.

Hi All,
I've notices some message bords return an error message after posting, even though the post is successful. Modifying the post after the submitting does not create another error.
I also noticed that the ticket number does not seem to be monotomically increasing.
Jeff
Ticket: 84353
Error: An error occurred in this page. The error has been recorded and the site administrator informed.
