I wrote more of Camel 3 than Stephen Potter did of Camel 2, and yet I get 0 credit and 0 royalties from camel 3, and Stephen got 10% royalties and "with" credit for Camel 2.
I'm just pissed enough at how O'Reilly did (or didn't) negotiate with me that I'm thinking of calling for a boycott. The trouble is, do you think it would be more backlash than benefit? Perhaps I should just quietly pass the word about this inequity, and leave it at that.
Looking for your input...
| Update: |
After consideration of the feedback I've received
(public and private),
I see that any boycott or even public outcry
would only harm the community, and that's not my
intent.
I was upset when I wrote the original comment,
and I had to vent a bit. I think my next action
will be one more attempt to resolve this through
my contacts at O'Reilly, and if that fails, just
write it off to experience.
Thank you for the feedback.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
