Sorry but I cut out the comments, because I know everyone on the list has received them. (If this is a bad practice on the list please let me know.) I really appreciated these e-mails. They helped bring a better understanding of the damaging effects of this new policy and it reminds me of one this the Napoleon said about keeping a constitution as vague as possible to make it easier to adjust later. I know those are not the exact words, please for give me for not having the memorized, I only have the idea down. Any such generalization leaves a broad spectrum of interpretation, and this it self in an Open or Free source comunity is bad. From my few years of exposure to the FSF I noticed that the rules and laws clearly state what cannot and what can be done with the software.
I hope everyone has had a Happy New Year, and I hope it will bring good things to the community.
