   I am very appreciative of the fact that you, and many others, put in
   considerable amounts of free labor to make the various source archives
   work.  However, I find this new twist of copyrighting other people's
   works, and then selling them *extremely* disturbing.

   I suspect that one immediate reaction to your scheme will be that you
   will see many more packages posted with a gnu-like "copyleft".

If the end result is that more software in the world is written under
the copyleft, that's fine by me.  Good copylefted software is much
easier to keep up-to-date archive information about because of the
phenomenal efforts of like-minded people who have an interest in its
propogation.
