I believe piracy is bad for everyone: the consumer, the writer, and
the country as a whole. I don't oppose copyleft, but then, I don't
oppose copyright either. Let's distribute the former for free, and
honor the need for the writer of the latter to earn a living.

My point exactly. A good application of moderate to large size (100K
lines of code) is about as large as a single person can write without
automation, hence it is of an effort comparable in scope and creativity
to a novel.

A 6th grader also has intuitions regarding the ownership of an idea.

It works very nicely, and can be found in Sourceforge under

But I have to admit I enjoy a solidly platonic relationship with
Python. I prefer to
write things in the most beautiful way rather than in the most
efficient. Its cost me a couple jobs, but the integrity of the product
always remains intact.

About twenty years ago, I was admitted to a Ph.D. program for computer
science.
It was also around that time that I was diagnosed for chronic
depression, which
forced me out of that program into the working word.
