You see why I wanted to close this thread? We are now discussing something which is not web2py related.
I take full responsibility for opening it. We have achieved awareness. This list has become a self conscious being. Now I think we should close the discussion. At the same time I encourage members interested in this topic to open a different mailing list on on "moral, ethics, and software mailing lists". There may be something more here that can even lead to an interesting research project and publications. Massimo
