That 3rd choice provides the loophole, although it requires two cooperating people to abuse it. PersonA hires PersonB to modify the program, and give him 100s or 1000s of matched discs of binaries and source. PersonA then takes out all the source discs and grinds them into powder, and then sells the binary-only discs to customers.
RMS's way of free software always seem to boil down to a single point: collaborative effort.
Regardless of the Agnetha-consequences and current implementation, this needs to be preserved.
If people invest effort in circumventing the license they do not wish to collaborate.
Whether it be through web-services or key-based activation is irrelevant, with every GPL release
there will be lazy fucks who try and use it
for their own good.
Body armor is a case-in-point, here: troops with effective personal body armor suffer less casualties, and are therefore more reliable in combat and less costly to support... meaning you can have a LOT more of them in the field.
No. Medical assistance is the biggest problem in modern age warfare. The community expects to win wars without casualties.
This requirement results into enormous logistic and human investments just to keep a few footsoldiers on standby (mobile hospitals, basic medical training). Thus, the moment you manage to disable as much soldiers with least effort (e.g. b-weapons) you have succesfully crippled an army.
Cannon-fodder is far more reliable, supportable (read: push at gun-point) and effective in combat (e.g. WWII at Stalingrad) provided you have enough humans to spare and a oppressed population.
Individual needs mix badly with military hierarchies.
I totally agree with the parent.
Another argument is compatibility; with XML it is (easier) to upgrade from a previous version of app X, not to mention it is possible to see (dtd version) whether an old configuration is used.
I just hope the configs adhere to some style, so we don't see kludges like:
<access> order deny,allow allow from 123.x.x.x </access>

RMS is right to be on top of it.
#1: How do you test the game? I'm playing endless hours on a single game..
#2: Will you add more automatic management features as introduced in the Conquest expansion?
#3: Do you have managers or AI?
My problem is the AI/comp will always be better at micromanagement than I, and therefore is more able to attain its goal.
So, I'll have to adjust to the AI's weaknesses in difficult settings of the game resulting in smallpox strategies (pump them settlers) etc.
Now, what do you think will make the game more enjoyable instead of making the AI tougher?
Final question: how do I win? :-)
Looks like your h/p will continue to lack development ;)
Thanks for the info, I'll try and fetch the article later.
Now we're at it, could you have known "Captain Stitch Me Up" is possibly sexier than CowboyNeal??
Sheesh, no need to get personal.

Besides, I like the Gentoo standard better.
Use shar to package files as shell script and prepend a custom install script; works like a charm.
A more adult -- probably truthfull also -- response to the number of vulnerabilities would be:

Besides, it's easier to tell users to click seaclunky/setup.exe than first firefox/setup.exe, next thunderbird/setup.xe etc.
Yes.
