Exactly! That is what I was trying to warn people of. Don't
expect that if you make a design public you will every be able to
again make it private.

But as several people have pointed out, you may still be able to
make money by extending the software, introducing a new version
or by useing the design as advertizing.

But again, I think most of the list have some interesting little
idea in the back of their heads that they do not see a commercial
prosepect for (or don't want to bother with the commercial side
of) and would like to justify spending the time to make the
design.

This contest is a way to do that.
