exactly. a quick reminder: above all the rights of freedom that we
hold so dearly, there is this one: s/he who writes the code gets to
choose the license, and if you don't like it, shut the fsck up and
don't use it.
imnsho, if there's one thing that's more counterproductive than
closed source, it's pointless whining and bitching.
sure, i would like to see the source too, and i don't understand why
stefan does not go open source, but pissing people off is certainly
not the way to proceed here.
it is the author's decision, and everybody *has*to*respect*it*!
don't preach freedom and deny others their freedom of choice. we've
had enough of this bigotry lately.
