ehh what?he source-code I am selling is not a ready product (s)... is for use it to create your products but if you find something that will make the code better I think you must share it.
Purchase should be something that has been tested and working, at least until the time of publication in the case of the source code. The user who buys is responsible for what he has bought. Donation means that one is free to donate any amount above 0, regardless of whether the code is complex or just an example but that to the developer starting it is a godsend. But I would like to point out a detail that I often notice by reading the various forum posts, there are developers who in good faith publish their sources and estimate a donation, for example a minimum of 5 euros, a minimum of 10 euros. In this case how could it be called, purchase or donation? (sorry for the translation)May be Purchase or Donation are not the only words... "Contribute" is more close to this we need as Developers... but not only with money... but with sharing knowledge too..
ehh what?
if you sell a source that is not finished you expect the buyer to improve the source and bring it to a finish product and MUST share it again for free?
WHY?
it does not make any sense.
in my opinion if someone is paying for a source it is now his and he can do what ever he want accept of SELLING the source to another person because he buys a copy and not the rights to sell it. besides that what he does is his business.
i also think that it is important to share free sources in the forum and contribute to the forum because many things and sometimes all our knowledge is from this forum so giving back is the right behavior. i have nothing against selling sources i also did it couple of times but i also share many many sources for free.
Well.. many times in the Forum... in categories like "Share your Creations" - we have "sales" of source code (I know that because many times I ve shared my source code at low prices).
Many of us asking for "Donation" and not Selling the Code with "Purchase" Button. Which is the reason selecting Donation and not Purchase ?
At my project-source-code (at many) I am telling that: When you buy you must contribute (not only with money but share your knowledge) ... and I believe that... OK I ve made a start - I am giving you (i think a good point to start coding) - now you must give more to our community - to those have this code...
The source-code I am selling is not a ready product (s)... is for use it to create your products but if you find something that will make the code better I think you must share it.
From the other hand Donation is a gift to someone... to reward him for his inventions, patents and not wait nothing from him... but here we are a community and we want to help each other - so sharing pieces of code will make all happy.
"Purchase" is for something "ready" as product - you must give warranty that works... 100% and support it for years... but is that the right Term for source-code that everyone can change ? Purchase will make the price-value of product (source-code here)... more expensive !
Let's talk about it ?
What do you think ?
Is it selling or sharing with a value ?
Selling/Sharing (with a value) pieces of Source-Code must have "Donation" or "Purchase" for button ?
Yes... The buyer/donator/purchasor know the status of product-source code "it can do those things" - "it can't do that"...ehh what?

Is very simple
Purchase: when you must pay, then receive a program
Donation: when you receive a program, then you can pay or not
I realized it might be good to put this into context of source code that is posted in the forum.Donation: when give somebody money* without expecting anything back
Well, in your example, why isn't the source posted in the forum in the first place?How can we tell that ?
I didn't understand the question...Well, in your example, why isn't the source posted in the forum in the first place?
No he cannot."..WHY?.."
Because no one software can be considere 'ended' or 'finished product', if you have coded this is clear
Then, any buyers, can improve the quality of project, and share to the other
I asked the question to understand why the source wasn't available. Why is this important? Because...I didn't understand the question...
how can you share or sell a project you have purchased by yourself?an Upgraded source will help community... but this is something ofcourse need a lot of discussion...
Upgrade the code and share the part of code with all members contributed... no resell it... actually share with author... and author resend the code to those donatedhow can you share or sell a project you have purchased by yourself?
even if you improve it, it would be wrong to put it in the forum.
you can contact the author and ask him if he agree or give him the advice how to improve it and if he want he can do it but putting his source back to the forum with some improvements for sale or for free is really wrong.
anyway everybody can has his own opinion about that topic. so i think i made mine clear.
i am out, have a nice discussion
