"It saddens me greatly to announce that, effective today, any of my Amiga-related software development has been mothballed indefinitely. This means that, pending any unexpected developments, there won't be any "Amithlon v2" (aka "Berniethlon"), nor any further support or add ons for "Amithlon v1" by me."

"Berniethlon" - The End : Comment 146 of 221 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 02-Dec-2002 09:03 GMT | In reply to Comment 104 (MIKE): "Maybe you should read some of the background about how the GPL came into being, you may come out
with a better understanding of why that statement is part of the FAQ."
I think the underlying idea is that programming should be treated like
scientific research, as something done for the good of the community
as a whole. Programmers, like research workers, would be paid a
regular wage by the state or by foundations, and not paid according to
the number of users of the software.
The alternative view is that coding is a craft, like making jewellery,
and the craftsman should get paid per copy produced.
IMO some software fits one concept, other software fits the other. |
