I suppose if your definition of "Open Source" is "GPL" - even then I didn't say I was against it - just that I didn't think it was right for all types of software or business situations. In the scheme I was proposing - some sort of allowed business and personal use, but not for resale (without consent & compensation) - I said *absolutely*nothing* about not providing source or not allowing modification, etc. I am fully in favor of providing source code.
