Is this Legal/Moral :)

I like how FF tries to reward people that help their cause (e.g. of having a library of quality filters).

But if you trade your rewards to where you gain something but FF does not gain anything (and potentially loses something), then I tend to feel FF’s kindness may be getting exploited -- where I initially feel this leans more towards something slightly immoral.

To try to illustrate a contrast: I think StevieJ may have donated some of his HU rewards to a noobie FF author, where he felt that artist had potential (to whom which could lead to enriching the community, but also while StevieJ, himself, gained nothing).

This is just my initial reaction, where I don’t feel too strongly about my opinions (as it does seem kind of gray). But you asked and I felt an urge to give a knee-jerk reply. (Meanwhile, if nothing else, I already respect you for inquiring…)

I tend to agree with Craig - Red you put the hard work into earning them, adding to the overall saleability of FF, you own those points and what you do with them is up to you and I can't see filter Forge having any concerns as far as how you dispose of them, they have awarded the HU's for people to get copies of the program and you can assign them to who ever you like how ever you like........... just my opion

I wouldn't cash it out, just given a price equivalent. If you can get professional version of filterforge for 3 HU that puts 1 HU at an equivalence of $100. So I was just saying I would trade 12-13 HU for PS, which equivalent of me trading $1200 for PS. So I agree with, just getting desperate for PS

Well, I've given out three copies to Ahimsa (2HUs), Mousewrites (3HUs), and Biomechanic (3 HUs).....Ahimsa and Mousewrites have been good contributors.....and Biomechanic just donated a little treasure trove of programs for the competition.....so it looks like I'm batting a 1000, sonny.....

i shld know better than to step on a man's altruism

in principle, no. in practice, perhaps

i agree with the snippets part, uber. i made a suggestion to FF to tag all filters with a more or less hidden code that would track when a snippet gets used in another filter and thereby give credit to the snippet. i hope FF does something along those lines.
