It seems to me that people fail to distinguish between a public
performance of the output of some software (colourful lights at the
intersection) and the software itself. That's the point of the software
- produce output. There's no link between the rights to the software and
the rights to its output, although some authors try hard to establish
one. Their prerogative. As soon as you blur that distinction with
something like gimp, it'll be deader than a dodo.

Starting a new thread when totally changing the topic would be more
appropriate ;)
