BUT I AM NOT DOING A SOFTWARE!!! AND I AM NOT IN A BUSINESS OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT !!! I am doing research in some industrial area!!! And I am using computer as a medium for distribution of my work. A same way writers or painters use papers to distribute their work. AND IN CONTRAST with writers or painters I intend to give additional rights to users and colleges. To copy and derive work for themself and friends. But I am not intend to give up my rights in favor of publishers. Its so obvious, I don't see a point of discussion. You can't ask writer to give up his rights on his book. And to survive on answering questions from readers on hot line. Or rewriting some chapters by orders from readers. That pliantly insane.
