And if I don't, you're free to choose to not use it. I am not a
doctor, lawyer, nor barber. The State does not tell me what I have to
do to write software.
btw, I do document my software and have received terriffic complements
for this. I'm simply saying that I have no right to demand your
standard of documentation from someone who has just built a program
that I'm getting a chance to use for free.
