Any examples ?

Just about any GPL'ed code that isn't backed by a large team. 

:)) Oki. And you are still unable to give examples ? :)))

Pluss, May we see yours ? Code ?

I obviously can't show any code that are used in commercial
projects...


:)))) "Obviosly"....

and the rest of what I've written are mostly small tools
and snippets.


:))) What surprice ! ( Thats what most of us do ) ;-)

Things to be used by me that aren't released
often are rather hackish -


:) Why is it not released often, and what do you mean by hackish ?

that's one of the reasons I don't often
release stuff.

I think you should. It doesnt have to be perfect, and anyway, I am sure some of it is. And somebody could learn from it, or draw inspiration from it (which I think is better).

One of my hacks that I *have* released, though,
can be found at http://f0dder.reteam.org/ring3msr_20040417.zip .
Not one of the best examples of clean code, though.


I download and check it out.
