Would you disapprove of software which enforced, in some way, the GNU GPL?
The idea is inconceivable, since the point of the GPL is that you CAN
edit the source. But if this were possible, it would not be wrong.
Digital Restrictions Management is wrong because it tries to deny the
public

I'm sorry, Richard, but I can't pass up pointing out inconsistent
philosophy. the GNU GPL is exactly Digital Restrictions Management.
I repeat: the GPL is enforced by the courts, not by software. Surely it is
not even digital?

Guys:
I d/l'ed the latest 1.2 CVS (looks great!!!) and found that the
imagemagick2 parser has vanished! I think it was Bill J. that wrote it. Is
this an oversight, or, was it removed? It's my choice for image conversion.
I've tweaked it a little and can supply a diff if needed.
