- Suppose I would start a company that offers this kind of support to
- organisations. Say, I support them with perl and gcc etc. In short., I become
- their link to the net if I don't know it immediately.
-
- If these companies would have their own net access there wouldn't be a
- problem. But if I sell support and I use the net for that, ain't I misusing
- the net? (To be fair, I would be helping people with answers I know too, but
- that is beside the point here).
-
- If I sell support for perl etc and use the net for help if I do not know the
- answer am I just acting as a combined "interested programmer with net access"
- for those companies or am I misusing the net for personal gain?
