Or is this some lame attempt at sarcasm?
Andrzej posts to the list, SHARING some code he's written in case some people actually might use it, and he gets bitchslapped with some holier-than-thou rhetoric? Puh-leaze. Take your total bullshit somewhere else because you're about as constructive as Richard-f**king-Stallman.
You may not know this, but people actually use perl for things other than one-liners. Commercial projects actually use perl, and oftentimes these commercial projects are sensitive and copyrighted. And occasionally, just occasionally, these projects actually want to have some level of security, for numerous reasons that I'm sure Andrzej could explain quite easily to us if he were asked.
Andrzej: thanks for sharing your code with us.

I just want to go on the record to say that I consider your action
personally offensive and ethically questionable.
A lot of people have worked very hard to bring you an open source
platform to stand on.
And now you spit in their face, by trying to pretend YOUR work is
worthy of more locking up than the source code you are using to create
your work.
Sir, on their behalf, and my own as a contributor to the open source
movement, and Perl in particular, you offend me.
