Ronald Cole says
<<Ronald Cole said
<<You may actually be surprised at what Stallman's ideals actually are!
I thought as you did, and pressed Richard about the altruism he
describes in his GNU Manifesto. He told me that "[I was] interpreting
what [he] wrote in a way that is not [his] interpretation." I then
asked him to explain just exactly how he got from "if I like a program
I must share it with other people who like it" to "each person should
be free to decide who not to give a copy to". He never bothered to
reply. In light of this statement from the Manifesto "the desire to
be rewarded for one's creativity does not justify depriving the world
in general of all or part of that creativity," I think he sold out on
his principles.
>>
Nope, I just think you don't understand things very well, even after
all this discussion. You apparently think that people should be forced
(by threat of fines? jail? ...?) to give you their software. Sorry,
the world is not like that, and the GPL *definitely* does not have this
in mind.
