that has always been why GPL is less free. even the GPL people themselves say that code (ideas) are different than "real" goods. but then they try to compare the need to protect real goods (e.g. a home, a life) with the "need" to protect code (ideas). you don't really need any fancy research to see the hypocracy there. -- [email protected] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
