>I loathe and despise the communist types like St*llm*n who > want to prevent anyone from owning their own software. Have you actually *read* Stallman's own (philosophical) writings? (As opposed to charicatures by others, such as yours)? For a programmer to 'own his/her own software' means, in practical terms, to be able to release it under exactly the license terms he/she wants, and have those terms respected/enforced. That is what he and collaborators have done with the GPL license and what you have done with yours. Based on my reading of his writings, I believe he would respect your right to do as you have done as long as you have not used FSF software and violated its license -- in which case he would get cranky just as you promised you would in similar circumstances. In other words, he insists on owning his software (and getscriticized for so doing) and I believe would respect that you own yours, which is the opposite of what you attribute to him. The term 'communist' should better be applied to people who want to take and use FSF software without paying the price demanded (ie, source-code distribution under the conditions specified).
