In what part of human life does freedom equal a complete absence of restrictions? It might mean an absence of undue restrictions, but that is surely not the same as no restrictions at all. Freedom is being able to do what you want, until your actions infringe on other peoples freedom. Nobody is forcing you to use GPL software. You are free to use software released under licenses that are more in tune with your personal ideals. That is freedom for you. You should enjoy that, instead of trying to limit the freedom of others. The GPL serves its purpose, as do all the other open source licenses. And please stop with the name-calling. People are not liars simply because they don't agree with your definition of what freedom is. -- Thomas L�cke | thomas@12boo.net | http://12boo.net
