And if you, Steve, being a decent human being, should choose to make some contribution to the cause, good for you! That's admirable. But don't come back later and give Craig grief about his being unwilling to contribute to the cause even though he is capable. That's not just unseemly, it's downright repugnant. ..no more repugnant than stealing from the honesty box at the side of the road... I think there is a mixup here between free-as-in-speech and free-as-in-beer. There is NOTHING to say open-source has to be free, just that you MUST have the option of the source code that created it, since it was built on the freely given work of others. Open Source is a particular form of altruism, that´s all. Steve |
