encoding breve simulatoin files
Hello All
i was wondering is there anyway to encode a breve simulatoin file so breve can use it but other people wouldnt be able to see what code was? or becouse breve would be able to use it other people would be able to crack it and see anyways? im not thinking of encoding or anything at the moment but if one day i do make something special i would get awfully annoyed if other people claimed my work was theres.
thankyou

Not exactly, but...
There's no way to encrypt it so that it's completely unreadable by others, but here's a secret about breve: it can read gzipped files without any modifications. So if you gzip your simulation file, it will be a binary file that is not readable by the naked eye, and if you give the file another name, they won't (automatically) know that it's been gzipped.
Of course, anybody who reads the forum might find out the truth :), but it should make it a little more obscure.

Are the simulation we create controlled by the GPL
In a way this brings a question I have been thinking for a while. Breve I believe make the GPL a little foggy on what is BREVE and if the code we create is our own or should all be released to all to see. Since there are many examples included with the application source code, it makes almost more sense to me that all simulations are to be posted. I am not an expert but this is my gut feeling.
Any clarification would be appreciated
Not at all
The GPL has no effect on the simulations you write -- they are yours alone. breve is just an interpreter and engine for the language.
