Yes, yes you seem to have missed "Geography", you would know that there are many places in the world where English is not the primary language. So quit beeing redundant and complaining about me not paying attention to exeptions in my 4th language while posting on/. where native speakers don't know the difference between "its", "it's" and "ITs".
You know what culture is and why it's important? Culture may not come above bread, but I'd say it's close. Want to take a guess how much of our culture is unculture (aka "intelectual property").
I can use the sun, candels etc. to provide myself with light. I can buy lightbulbs with practicly the same properties from concurenting manufacturers. I can publicly display the lighbulbs light, record it on video and use it commercially without additional cost. Light from a specific light bulb does not become part of culture. Light bulbs require a nontrivial amount of raw materials and production complexity for every unit. I'm free to mix light from different light bulbs and show everyone the result.
Thank you for the link. Some really nice info there.
Silverex explains about the differences between the XChat windows build, and his: "zed compiles gtk+ libraries into xchat.exe executable itself, mine uses gtk+ runtime environment, which many gtk+ for windows applications can share. thus, one can change gtk themes on my build. there are also several other minor differences. zed can and is able to hack gtk+ so it would look better, I'm stuck with official gtk sources, which lack some features."
GTK+ is LGPL, if the modifications are not released that's one more point that could get him into hot water.
If you're referring to the source code for the Java Virtual Machine that runs the executable Java programs, you'd have to compare that to the Windows OS and x86 microcode that Python programs run on, which are also proprietary and closed.
My opinion is that free software wich strongly depends on proprietary components is not as free as software that doesn't. in short: if it runs on GCJ/Kaffe it's more free than if it runs only on the Sun JVM (wich is the case far too often).

Forget "Frozen Bubble", what about "Battle for Wesnoth"?
Some things are only funny the first time. ;-)

Not a flaimbait. Not lame. Just a question.
NSA logs YOU.
Notice that there is no 30-day-crippleware for download from the FSF. Read the GPL with this fact in mind.

Where did this public domain thing come from? A digital thing lasts forever.

Obivously the thief is not a music pirate, YOU are. Please buy another set of stolen CDs and pay a 5000 dollar fine.

Strange name for a pen if you ask me.
Considering how many nukes exist I'd rather be a target than not.
Diaboldic.
The store calls you when they run out of tinfoil? You must be a good costumer.
What if they steal the warning sign first?
Enough to get interested, didn't click "Read the rest of this comment...".
Hey it's not my fault that english has so many exceptions. The fact that my english teacher was stupid doesn't help matters.
As long as he provides the source to everyone who downloads the shareware version...
Three words: putty, screen, irssi. :-P
No no no, the GPL is anti-viral. It's his added code that is viral.
