If everybody can see the code, what prevents competing programs to steal the ideas in PAScual?
The answer is that I don’t see other programs as “competitors”. I hope that PAScual is useful for everybody. I also expect that if someone finds PAScual useful, will acknowledge it by, e.g., citing it. If other programs want to use some idea in my code, they are welcome (although if they use the code directly, they should respect the terms of the License. Anyway, I used other people’s ideas (written in articles) when implementing PAScual.
