Not quite. More like "someone inspects your free car and finds a button
that can make it explode. Maybe he pushes the button, maybe not. Maybe he
pushes the button on someone else's car". Are you willing to take that
risk? I can imagine two situations where that would be the case: either
you do something that is so unimportant for the rest of the world that
noone bothers destroying your work, or you do something that is so good
for everyone that noone will want to destroy your work, not even out of
envy. Come on, not even the UN are _that_ good :-)
