[wilhelmtux-discussion] A new political licence?

Assume, you'r a UK soldier and become killed by a stupid US patriot
rocket. Anyway - this is not the point to make fun.

Yes, you'r right, no doubt. Most people will not love the situation
to become killed by there own weapon, but is it better to become
killed by other's weapon?


At least, every developer is free to decide under which license he/she
will release hi/here software. My prefering the use of the GPL does
not mean anthing, I know.

I only tried to show my point of view and why I decide to accept
freedom, even if exactly this will kill me. There are many points
not named here, but I hope, the most important ones were discussed
yet.


Greetings,
Manfred.
