I am aware that this section, and its slightly provocating title, may trigger
|
| - |
|
64 |
reactions from GPL enthusiasts, hence let me explain with more words. I enjoy
|
| - |
|
65 |
creating software and I publish it for others to use for free. Should someone
|
| - |
|
66 |
wish to extend SvarCOM with an extra feature and decide not to publish the
|
| - |
|
67 |
source code along with the modified version, that's fine by me. My code is
|
| - |
|
68 |
still open and free. Theirs is not, but its their work, so I find it fair that
|
| - |
|
69 |
they have the freedom to decide how to distribute it. I certainly do not wish
|
| - |
|
70 |
to impose my views on others.
