What do you mean by "rip off"? You mean "claim the work as their own"?
We spent quite a bit of money on lawyers to draft the CPOL[^]. It lets people use the code but is very clear about rights and ownership.

Thx Chris.
What happened was they put their own binary wrapper around ToDoList which was okay so far as it went.
But it also caused problems for the operation of ToDoList, and so I asked to have my software removed from their site.
They refused and denied there was a problem, which there clearly was.
I responded by saying that the reputation of my software was being damaged, so they rebranded and renamed my software and re-released it. Legal perhaps but highly unethical.
FWIW I was using the Eclipse Public License that may have been too permissive. If you believe that the CPOL will serve me better I will gladly switch.

The CPOL states in section 5 "You agree not to ...imply that this Work is a product of Your own". Unfortunately I can't advise you on what legal agreement works best for you - only you or your legal advisor can do that.
While a license may allow someone to do an action, there are moral concerns that really should have been taken into account. What happened just seems...low.

Thx Chris.
FWIW, it looks like the best license for me would actually be 'Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs' (CC BY-ND).
Would that be acceptable to CP?

As long as you allow others to see and use your code, any license is good.
I've added CC BY-ND 3.0 but I have a real concern about the "no derivatives" part. Do you really not want people extending your work, or is it that you don't want people:
1. Extending your work and claiming it for their own
2. Extending your work and breaking it
3. Extending your work and taking it in directions you're not keen on

Hi, I go through your website and found very good study material articles. but my didn't found interview related material. some of articles have few questions but not much sufficient. i want systematic and complete different UI.
you can put interview questions based on different technologies.
as you have very good resources in theory. try to put this option also. many of freshers or Exp. person always try to search this stuff.

While this isn't, strictly speaking, a topic that's suitable for Site Bugs/Suggestions, there are resources here on CP that already cover this. Try searching through the articles of Shivprasad Koirala[^].

Firstly, that's a damn suave profile pic. The puts us to shame.
Second, we have a bit of a dichotomy with accounts: There is your site membership (eg your CodeProject or RootAdmin) number, and there is your network-wide profile number. Your profile is the thing that allows you to log on to any site (Workspaces, codeproject.com., codeproject.tv etc) using the same email/password, but once on a given site you have separate memberships.
We are in the middle of ripping the guts out of this and switching it around: You'll have a single account (email/password) and then on each site you'll have a site profile that allows you to customise the given site.
Hence the two terms you're seeing. Profile ID != Member ID. Profiles.Count > Members.Count.

That explains the situation.
Thanks.

This message should say "N items need approval", since the items could be spread across articles, blogs, tips and reference items.

I still think of all of them as articles, and I would prefer to be clear that we're talking articles and not, say, catalog items or forum messages.

This implies that we should talk about articles, Tips and References as Big-Articles, Medium-Articles and Tiny-Articles.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

That's how I talk about them 
(Actually I talk about Article and ArticleViewModel entities and their associated ArticleTypId - but I have a slightly different perspective than most)

It appears my suggestion has been accepted (and in fact improved upon, by adding the detail byline). So the "answered" icon attached to this post should probably be changed to "fixed".

I was *just* hunting for your original message so I could ping you.
Thanks for saving me the trouble!

Yes, I know. My keylogger (cleverly disguised as a must-have CP article) informed me of the fact.

Oh dear.
