That's true. But as I said, there are other ways to make the
money. Then again, your argument is good. I think any kind of
information, where it is books (the content, not the paper), or
music, or software, should not be copyright. The artists will
get their credit. But in this world, we can't imagine it. The
GPL is the perfect answer here.
