	Free software is about freedom (liberty) for the end user.  It's not
	about control by the author (except in specific limited respects).  If
	you want control by the author, then you have a different philosophy.
	Freedom is about giving up control.  More freedom, less control.  More
	control, less freedom.  Get it?
Then why isn't it just public domain software?
I don't see what's so bad about having contributors agree to
share with the author if they share with anyone else.  That
doesn't seem like 'control' to me.
