Again, please stop confysing GNU projects with programs licensed under the GNU GPL.
Freedom's OK, but I think there's also such a thing as "getting carried away with it". True freedom means that one shouldn't be told what to do with their own original stuff. It is no longer your own original stuff if it is a deriviate work. That sounds like a "price". It seems they've been saying that if you use even one line of GNU code in your program then you are required by the license to release your entire original program as GNU, not just that one line. Ie. you "pay" for using the code with the rights you previously had to your original work. It is no longer an original work if it is a deriviate work. What you "pay" is that you respect users rights to run, study, redistribute and improve software. Rights that all users must have, you nor anyone else has the right to tell someone that they cannot do these things. By wanting to make your software non-free, you try and subjugate these rights, something that is morally and ethically wrong. This isn't much to ask for is it? _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
