Well you are very mistaken and your personal bias is as transparent as air
If I just release the source code without a GNU in place, anyone will be free to take the work and pass it off as there own efforts.
Besides, I want to retain source control until I am happy that it is a completed entity.

Crikey, I know you have said several times you are no businessman, but I didnt realise you meant you had literally NO idea how business works at all.
All versions will be released the same way, I have never said otherwise.
There will be no charge for updates or upgrades either.
How much clearer do you want me to make it ! LOL
I havent taken a single penny for this so far and will never do so now.
I also have made this public statement saying all this multiple times.
You mentioned about free serach engines making profit, they carry adverts, this software doesnt nor does the site where it will be based.
When the URL is released you are more than welcoem to look for such evidence but you wont find any.
It all very well you looking for excuses to rubbish this idea but I would have though as someone who is a software developer and a car enthusiast, that you would be all for something this.
Stop looking for excuses that you are basing on personal bias towards me until you have proof I have made profit from it please.
