ola,
at least, some reasonable words from some reasonable person.
Hola.
I'm sorry to perpetuate this thread, and promise not to reply again and heed Frank's advice. I too think this discussion is getting childish. I've changed the subject line because I do see personal names on subject lines as totally gross ..
you're right, i find the procede very insulting and fascistic ..
Moreover, it is inappropriate and out of place in this list, IMHO.
it's only to explain that i certainly know what it means when i write 'NOT FOR REPRESSIVE USE' and that i will not take that statement away. i'm also here with people who suffered from Pinochet, you can check indymedia, radio numero critico and radio neta ( valpo ).
When you attack a single software developer for copyrighting their software (and no, I don't necessarily agree personally with that approach, in that I personally try to find the funding to release in the open), you undermine the real fight against software progress and the freedom organisations such as the FFII campaign for.
the problem is to copyright something like 'internationalisation of pd' or 'unit testing in pd' which are really ( or should be ) common and shared concepts.
the second problem is to present DesireData as a new project, independent of PD ( and, de facto, to copyright it ).
the problem is to copyright what you haven't done alone.. the problem is ethical.. and i know i'm right.
saludos y feliz anio, sevy
