I'm not out to convince anyone that anyone has any more rights than anyone else. What I *was* doing was bringing that particular portion of the conversation back to more than just baseless bashing of a particular license. > RMS tried with circle talk to convince people and lost many acolytes in > the process.

Yes, there has been quite a bit of manure slung by *both* sides. I prefer to stay out of that particular gutter. I personally don't care what anyone thinks of RMS, GNU *or* FSF. I'm an ardent supporter of none of the above. > A few more cronies also tried and failed at convincing anyone of the > GPL teachings. Yes we get your point and we think it is stupid. No > need to discuss it or try to explain it again. We get it. They're not my teachings or teachings to which I particularly subscribe. I would maintain that most of the "more popular" licenses have their pros - ultimately it depends on who or what you want to protect. Don't paint me with the RMS/GNU brush because I refused to stand by and watch *blatantly* false accusations be made. There is a big difference between correcting those accusations and *supporting* the recipient of the accusations. kmw
