"What is best in life?"
"Crush your enemies!
See them driven before you!
To hear the lamentation of their women."

Here are some of the sources that I have created and I'm making them available; however, under the provision that you're free to do whatever you want with the sources, except sell them as your own work, and you must associate my name with the provided sources. If you want to use these sources in a commercial product, you must make a licensing agreement with me (and don't worry I'm not out to surpass Billy Gate's in wealth).

In some instances, mostly for the patch files for other packages, the sources are either placed in the public domain or the GNU CopyLeft applies. The patch file copyrights depends on the original packages.
