I guess, since you kind of quoting me, you are trying to speak to i as
well, without "compromizing" yourself with direct reference:). So, are you
climing that by restricting free download officially (when it is not
stated as demo/shareware/free), some manufacturers actually hidenly invite
the opposite:) Well, some - may be - if they aRe cover for CIA or MOSSAD
sayanim:), or in some very back-door-ed/minded plces like IsReal:):
"Don't steal [international {sic}:] pancake from our pan":)
If you put _right_ punctuation mark after "Don't" - you MAY actually treat
it as intvitation for steal:) But in any case the word hewre IS "stealing"
. What is this "CastoMizer" software, btw?

Cum on:) It is all DUN remotely. And is - prerogative of FBI and thier
counterparts in non US plces. (Are you a provoker fr. one of such "nice"
bodies, by chance?:) And crimes do not justify "fight" with them by unjust
means, breaking human rights. And Virtually evryThing can be faked,
evidences included.

In no way this is true. FutherMore, i _don't_ believe that
self-confessions / pleas could be a main argument in process (contrary to
AM*an "Just'ice" system principles). Objective evidences - although - yes.
But only obtained by LEGAL means (wich do not includes appriory
considering most subjects - guilty until proven innocent, and using it as
a justification for buging/mind reading/etc:)
In this concrete topic, i think that Mr. Maletski didn't have only himself
in mind, and am confronting not him personally, but his statements.
>Mr. Maletsky: Do not apologize to anyone for having the courage to speak up.

With criminals?:) (don't have Mr MM in mind:) I won't.

Open source is good when it is agreed upon by author/creator:) By
circumstances, i use mostly free software, myself: although am not
particularly interested in Source and hoping it 'll work as designed in
bin. Hovewer the using of free software doesn't place you under the moral
obligation to produce _only_ free (open source or not) software in
exchange; as this use is not a communal things, but descreet agreements
between you and evrey programm author, and not with a society at Large.

Regarding ASP, I started with PHP only because IT (and not an ASP) was
supported on the server, where my original site was. And then I liked it
for ability to having work DUN. The only (related to the topic) thing: I
would prefer, that PHP engine should be shipped by _default_ with standard
compiler (like ZEND or whatever) included, so that developing/distributing
compiled scripts would be easier.
