No complaints here ... just stuffing the code into my reference library as fast
as I can ... no plans to use it for anything other than a source of EL
techniques.
However ... some have raised questions regarding the origin of this code and
that does concern me because I want no part of illegal software. If anyone
claims protected authorship of any part of this code, I will remove the code
from my system without question.
That said, what I've seen of this code does not appear to be professionally
written. At a minimum, I expect professionally written/marketed source code to
include: 1) header block with name, author, copyright (if applicable), revision
history, and some explanation of the intended purpose; 2) inputs and variables
which are given meaningful names with at least a few words of explanation in
comments; and 3) explanatory comments sprinkled throughout the code to identify
the key conditions and flow of the logic.
Frankly, I haven't looked at the code closely, but I've seen nothing which bears
the imprint of professionalism. I'll grant that it's easy enough to strip out a
header block, but getting rid of explanatory comments and (especially)
meaningful variable names, does take more effort and care than most code thieves
are willing to exert. If the code I have looked at is being licensed
commercially, then it's a sad testament to the authors and if it's a remarked
version of professionally written code, then it's a sad testament to the
purchasers.
