"It saddens me greatly to announce that, effective today, any of my Amiga-related software development has been mothballed indefinitely.

I suppose that's true if you apply the absolute meaning of free. Then again would that absolute meaning of free apply when talking about a "free society"? Absolute freedom is anarchy, of course.
One thing I have noticed is that those who most complain about the restrictions around the GPL are the ones who want to appropriate free software for their own profit. It's the "it's not free because I can't make it mine" syndrome. |
