I agree with you here. People should have choice, and we can't force them.
But I also understand ahj's point of view, this is Free Software we are
talking about, and by this all his freedoms that we love, respect and want so
much (if I can say this in this way).
I love to point at the OsX example with the BSD code, they've done a great
project, but it is totally proprietary (and "evil" in most cases). So was
this a good idea by the BSD developers and lawyers ? Does this benefits
anyone else then Apple ? Maybe not... but if it is their believes then we
can't make them change. Probably without a licence like that their will be no
Apple, and by this, no Apple Products. I agree with RMS when he says that
"doing business by taking freedoms from people isn't an excuse to be
unethical", but what would be our world without BSD and Apple ? Better ?
Worse ?
PS: I'm in a total agree with you also on the last point. This community is
just fantastic because of that, people who are here know what they want,
understand their needs, had made a choice a long time ago, and want to fight
anyone trying to remove what they love so much... so it is normal to receive
some negative posts sometimes when we say something a little bit "off the
line", but once again everything needs to be discussed :D And this is why I
love so much this community !
