Heh...no thanks. There's no reason why I need to type like I have tourette's
just to move a file from point a to point b. I don't want to care what the
bloody file system is, that's the OS's job. I don't need to know what the
free memory address is, that's the OS's job.

There's a REASON why I'm such an iSeries aka AS/400 snob :-)

The GPL is not something we really considered to be a license so much as a
political manifesto, and speaking purely for myself, I prefer to keep my
license agreements and my politics separate. I feel that code which isn't
being used in a situation where it COULD be used is code which isn't
achieving its full potential and the GPL scares a lot of potential users
away, which is simply counter-productive in my opinion. I don't care whether
or not the users give their changes back to me, that's just an added bonus
if it happens and nothing I'd want to try and enforce at the point of a gun.
