Yes, I got the same conclusion, from the discussion between you and
Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason. So, I remove the change to MyFirstContribution.txt.
It sounds like the best plan for now.

But, I agreed on some point with Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, we have to try 
to recommending also free alternatives.

And, yes, a new file is the best option. So, I keep my change somewhere, and 
I will come again with a new patch but not in its thread because it seems to 
be out of the scope now.

I think, it can help a newcomer, but not necessarily people with a 
lot of experience on various projects. But, we can give it a try and 
see where it goes.

Thanks everyone for your reviews, your ideas and help.

    -+It can be used to isolate certain parts of code, with this you may be able to ask
    -+more precises question when you are stuck. (See getting-help sections).
