- I agree with this entirely, but I think that's just one side of
- the whole thing. Directed at the other side, I say:
- Look, if you're gonna sell copies of software beyond the point of
- breaking even, be honest enough to admit you're too greedy for
- profit to release it into the copylefted domain. Don't use some
- bogus lofty, higher moral justification.
- This is not directed personally at Mike Healy nor at anyone else
- on the net, excepting Bill Gates, if he's on the net :-)
