If they want to sell through a large corporation and alienate their audiences, let them. If they want to give their work away freely, let them. Asking why they want to co-operate with big business is beside the point; if they want to, then it's not our place to stop them. This is why I disagree with the GPL as well as any DRM schemes, because it forces authors down a certain path. Especially if the entire world uses DRM, and you can't choose a different way to release your work... or especially if the entire world is comprised of GPL-licenced software. (And may I be damned for saying that.) -Terence Tan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQE9oCu1Rp0kKDQrlIERAkc9AKCFBR+x98aeZ3D2HaKBcF+y8FI/4wCgoikX VRB/PR6V55Z48pp42KjD4ac= =BQ0K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
