This is no news but I don’t get people. I really don’t.

When a potential client approached me for a quote normally I gave two estimates. One if I am allowed to write something about it and another one (substantially higher) if they refuse.

I never said a word about open sourcing it, naming names or something like that.

Most of the time I explain, as politely as I can, that nobody is going to ‘steal’ they wonderful idea. And also that it is just a very simple variation on stuff found on textbooks and, the only original thing they did was to put a company logo on it.

It is such a shame that I honour my word in these cases.
