The writer has a good point that taking something for your own and try to make money of it is capitalism!
No that is theft. You can make money selling GPLed software whitout violating GPL. I have spent lots of money on free software, Its nice to have the CD's and the manual.
Since when has communism had a great respect for private ownership. The disrespect for private ownership is what caused the american trade enbargo on cuba (and almost launched WW3).
I think Its sad that people mix up community effort and communism. It has nothing in common. Communism isn't about community and community effort.
Thanks for correcting my spelling errors though, but I do find your sense of humor rather unhumoring! (nothing personal)
I totaly agree with you exept that I think that your wievs on Libertarians is a bit twisted. Libertarians have a great respect for private ownership. As a Libertarian and a programmer I have no problems I have no problems to abide by GPL and I totaly respect the ownership the comunity has of GLPed code. All Libertarians I know are nice Intelligent people.
I wold say this Slade caracter is more of a communist, siezing private property and not giving anyhing back.
