Hi,

Actually that each user has a redistribution right is a requirement
for something to be open-source:
WWW.OpenSource.org/docs/osd

Do Chinese imports destroy the European economy or do excessively high
costs of living in Europe and excessively high salaries in Europe and
laziness of Europeans destroy the European economy?

Maybe you could excuse him for not being as good at English as you?
Maybe he was trying to suggest that you have a salary.
