Most definitely. I was referring to Todd's stated intent (from way back...)
that he might at some point place the code that runs LUGNET or parts of it
under GPL. (that's probably an incorrect paraphrase of what he said, though,
I think it was more subtle than that)

Very logical. Very correct. But you of course realise that the fact that
it's logical or correct won't carry any water with the "I want it because I
want it and I have a right to it, so where is it already?" crowd, who in
this thread at least, seem to have confused voluntary contributions with
ownership shares. Last I checked, Todd wasn't billing Lugnet as a commune
where everyone gets a vote, or selling shares in it.

Indeed. And since FTX is above a certain level of sophistication, I bet a
sufficiently clever programmer could even create an FTX generator to create
any level of structure on their home pages they wanted to... right down to
something that was a pretty close simulation of a database (not searchable,
but organized hierarchically, anyway).
