Charter, I've been working on some search scripts that I'm wondering if they would be something that could use a GNU/GPL license like you use for your search engine. I've gone out to the gnu.org website but I'm really confused as to how the organization works.
Here's a little background on my stuff. I have some purchased software,which is maintained on my desktop. that I use to catalog my music collection. This software has MS Access as a back end. I've written search scripts for this database in ASP for the Access version, and I'm almost finished with a PHP/MySQL version. Oh, and for what it's worth, I've let the developer of the desktop software know what I'm doing, and he has no problem with it at all. He has even included a link on his website to mine.
What I'd like to do is distribute my scripts for free to whoever wants them without worrying about someone claiming them as their own and selling them. Does this sound like something that the gnu.org organization is interested in? If so, how would I go about contacting them about it?
