The work being proprietary has nothing to do with the contents of the work itself, which is just what I stated above. Please don't answer to a message by showing you haven't even read it, this behavior is quite prone to get you put in some killfiles (which already happened). > > The GFDL is very different.

I don't see much difference between a proprietary work you can't modify and a proprietary work you can't modify with a "Free" stick. Blabbering about world domination of free software without even ensuring works you release are free is a good way to fail: when world domination is achieved, you realize you made so many exceptions that you are far from your original vision. -- .''`.
