Richard,
You'd be surprised how many don't know how to milk a cow
Having milked a cow by hand, and had the beast kick me in the stomach, I
would advise
one and all to avoid the experience at all costs.
or wouldn't bother doing so because it is so much easier to buy the milk in the
supermarket. I, for one, could get a cow for free, but I have no place for it
on my balcony.
I have been wondering about our roof; it is tented at about 15 degrees;
were it grassed it would be
very much in fashion (Richmond's Eco-Roof) and could probably sustain 2
or 3 goats. Unfortunately, having
worked with cows, I know that they have no head for heights.
However; from Bulgaria; Livecode looks like a cow and Metacard looks
like a goat. My experience tells
me that cows are less bloody-minded than goats, and their milk is
considerably preferable . . . :)
I know that their are some people around and about who would be prepared
to scramble up onto their roof twice a day to milk a goat; however, I
would far rather stick to cow's milk; preferably pasteurised and
bottled by a hygienic dairy, rather than from my roof or your balcony!

Thanks Mark for clarifying that.
Where I was getting it mixed up, was that I was equating selling
commercially with not making the source code available.
But of course, they are not the same thing.
Not exactly the same, but how many people pay for milk when they can get the
cow for free?
Cows are NOT free; anybody who has worked on a farm will tell you that
they are relatively high
maintenance beasts.
Do not be fooled; nothing, absolutely nothing is free; it is just that
some things have their price written on the front, and others, like
cows, have the price written round the back (under the tail).
If the GPL-licensed technology you're considering is absolutely essential, you
may have no choice.
But if you can find an alternative solution using something governed by the
Apache or MIT licenses you'll not have to worry about GLPing your own stuff.
