Guys, was it wrong of me to take Tradestation apart, rebuild it under a
different name and then market it as MarketStation? I feel kinda bad for
doing it but my wife has expensive tastes and trading in the market was not
getting anywhere so now I'm selling stolen/re-worked software. That's not
wrong, is it? I mean, I'm scared of my wife.
Regards,
John Theo
