Suddenly i feel i need to post this to the list
Will you try to prove that your source code was originally issued
under GPL ? One could put it in public domain part by part,
procedure by procedure, recompile it again in some more or less
similar fashion and finally put the whole work in public domain
I do not understand how unlimited resources (and written software is
a such) can be privatized. What for ? Why on earth do you need to control unlimited
resource. To make yourself a master. Sorry this is not for me
So i want to make unlimited resources free to use but under current
laws (when patents exists and who knows what other laws will be created)
it seems to be very difficult to acomplish
