*sigh*
We're not talking about weapons. We're talking specifically about
interesting and constructive pieces of music software. I believe that
the existence of FL Studio and software like it enhances the world.
You might argue that it would be better if written or distributed in a
different way, but if you're arguing that this software would be better
not existing at all -- as you might do of weapons -- then we have no
common basis for this discussion.
Write free music software if you wish to. I do. But if you're only
doing it because you're sour about someone else's work, then you're not
doing a good thing; don't delude yourself that you are.
