	Hmmm.. so what you are saying here is that the violation of
laws is fine as long as no one can get sued ???

	In wich case .. why don't I take GNU Emacs, remove the
copyleft, place on that says it is in the Public domain and send it
EVERYWHERE I can think of.

	You would never find me , and there would be no way to stop
the PD version from spreading .. you would also never find all the
commercial software that that code may be put into.

	So is that my version of your civil disobedience for the fact
that I don't like the copyleft ????  I doubt it.

	There is NEVER a reason to knowingly violate a federal law.

	You guys are under the VERY mistaken impression that what I
think, what I wrote, and what I discover belong to you by some divine
right. You have no such right. If I have a idea, I >OWN< it .. or
doesn't the concept of ownership get through to you at all ????? 

	Jeez .. everything I wrote should be free, and if I protect it
with laws you are sitting here plotting ways to steal it without
getting caught .. very useful... I can really trust the FSF right ???

	Hmm... interesting that everywhere else on the net piracy
(what you are advocating) is put down .. but in GNU's little corner it
seems to be the way you will deal with everything you don't like.

	What happened to "we wrote it, we can liscence it anyway we
want" ... now you are saying "we don't care who wrote/thought it" we
will steal it.

	Hmm.. I wonder , if I take GNU Emacs, and then take a file
with one character in it , run "DIFF" and distribute the diff as
public domain (I have not technically distributed Emacs, just the info
needed to build it) then that would be ok by your rules ??
