I don't want to place my software in near public domain where people can do whatever they wished. When India was said to have attained freedom, nobody meant that there was no laws governing us and we can do whatever we wanted. we got freedom of expression, religion, voting, blah blah, but at the same time we had lot of duties too. That is what is called freedom. Rights without duties, freedom without morality is not desirable. That is not true freedom at all. That will lead to anarchy. *We expect people who benefit from free knowledge to contribute back to it.* -- *அகிலன்* (Akilan R) (http://www.coding-aviator.blogspot.com) *I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell.* --Jean Rostand _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
