Well we had better destroy almost every computer game ever made. Goodbye Warcraft III, Sim City 4, Quake 3 Arena. You aren't free so you should be destroyed according to flap.

The problem with free software is games. Games would suffer the most from being free software. There would be nothing preventing competing companies from using your source code to create their own games and put you out of business.

For example the source code leak for Half-Life 2 was potentially devastating. That is why the game has yet to be released.

Make it all free.
Problem solved.

Injustice is happening now; suffering is happening now. We have choices to make now. To insist on absolute certainty before starting to apply ethics to life decisions is a way of choosing to be amoral.

Patents do not protect ideas and people.
They only protect rich firms who suck the blood out of working people.

PS. I know you're not stupid, so you have no excuse to act like this.
Claiming IIS performs better than Apache on small and medium servers is simply ridiculous.
