strange as it may seem to some people, the danger of people
'pirating' software and making more profit than the developer is
practically non-existent. Any moron stupid enough to pirate software
would not have the brains to develop and support it in a better
manner than the original user. (This is different in the case of one
closed source guy pirating anothers). Why pay for a cheap duplicate
when the original is available free and supported by the creator. I
personaly am all for giving anyone the freedom to do anything
whatsoever with my software - because all I am doing is giving him
the freedom to hang himself. And, if i am short of funds i can always
sue him for violation of copyright ;-)
