In article <87zpbmkhdn.fsf@ivm.de>, Klaus Schilling <Klaus.Schilling@home.ivm.de> writes >Commercial or not doesn't matter. It's proprietary software that is downright >evil. This has nothing to do with being commercial or not. Explain why proprietary software is 'evil'. I challenge you to offer a coherent and sensible defence of your arguement. In particular I want to know what gives you the right to demand that you should determine how the result of someone elses work should be released. >Intellectual Property is theft from the collective mind, thus downright >evil. Oh dear. We appear to have a 'New Age Hippy' among us. Justify your claim of the existance of this collective mind. Tell me the number I am thinking of as I write this >No, they don't. Care to try and defend this? People choose an OS to run their prefered application. Only us nerds sometimes do things the other way around. By releasing high quality software whether free or commercial for Linux companies like Applix and Corel are increasing the number of people who will consider using Linux. -- Jason Clifford Definite Linux Systems http://definite.ukpost.com/
