He's one of the most prominent people deliberately
copyrighting code to prevent it from being used
without restriction.

And not because he is going to make an understandable
mo*netary gain, but because he is peddling a sick
philosophy.

As do all the other licenses.

"dogs in mangers" is an expression that doesn't
translate into people being dogs.

Yes, you are correct. Others, such as communist
dictators have a different definition of "freedom"
to mine, and that is where the clash comes about.

Enormous effort has been expended spreading
alternative definitions of freedom such as
communism. Probably the largest benefit to the
world would be to stop man-made problems of
people peddling communism or other systems, such
as copyrighted freeware, as "freedom". It is
active harm. The opposing ideology needs to be
crushed.

Rather than just saying "oh, it's ok to peddle
communism or nazism, not everyone has the same
definition of freedom as you do".

Yes, communists, rapists etc are different from
me. You seem to think I shouldn't take any action
based on that. Whereas my number one goal is to
defeat this deliberate man-made problems that don't
require m*oney to solve, they just require people to
stop making an effort to do harmful things.

BFN. Paul.
