Hi Christophe, I find it awesome. As history shows our contribution model is largely based on such cases. Several things: - as Jos has said unless the code is distributed, no changes have (even in GPL) to be published; we're not using AGPL - architectural: to encourage reuse we need to have a library, could you list the files you're using? - practical: if you list files that you need we can collect list of persons that own the copyright
Then the discussion can continue. Personally I am all for turning code into libraries when reuse is requested with possible back-contributions! The reason a lot of things is a general purpose library is that it costs more in development and maintenance so the cost would have to be shared, e.g. by contributing the code/design back.
