##The following does *NOT* in any way express the opinions or ##goals of OBSD. They are mine alone.## So what? I couldn't care less about the FSF or any free software initiative. I don't see any problem with someone trying to sell a piece of software that they produced through their own hard labor. If people want to write software and give it away for nothing, they are *free* to do that too. I don't get this whole "unethical" stance. It's total BS. If you don't want to pay for software, fine don't, but don't go on some religious crusade trying to get me to believe it's unethical so I won't either. If someone painted a picture and then tried to sell it for money in an art gallery then that would be "unethical" too? Oh, come on! I also don't give a rats ass whether Richard Stallman recommends OBSD or not and I don't think any of the developers do either. All this crappy thread has done is make Richard Stallman more Googleable. And I'm sorry that I facilitated that.
