+<PRE>&gt;<i> I think u just point out here the Open Source Concept as one
+</I>&gt;<i> of the biggest joke of the end of twentieth century .
+</I>
+Well, there is stupid people that laugh at important things.
+Idiots things everything is a joke. :-/
+
+&gt;<i> Software code in itself is not that important thing when GPL is
+</I>&gt;<i> concerned,
+</I>&gt;<i> and beeing able to read it and extract the major concepts of a software
+</I>&gt;<i> is
+</I>&gt;<i> the great thing : u always proceed with reverse engineering , - the
+</I>&gt;<i> ever
+</I>&gt;<i> coming question how do they do that - even when using software like ...
+</I>&gt;<i> those which don't provide source code .
+</I>
+You didn't understand it...
+GPL is not about reading others code... but giving you the freedom to copy,
+modify and resuse it under the GPL License.
+
+&gt;<i> That's why GPL is a bad trick to minor companies and therefore for
+</I>&gt;<i> individuals :
+</I>&gt;<i> releasing code shows the overall software architecture , may let u get
+</I>&gt;<i> insights
+</I>&gt;<i> about hardcore coded sections and definitively unprotects the source
+</I>&gt;<i> providers .
+</I>
+No, because all the code is under the GPL.
+If you read it, and code it on your way, then you could set whatever license you
+want... it is up to your ethical being to say if you use GPL or not.
+
+&gt;<i> Good and Exceptionnal concepts are quickly analysed (you always need to
+</I>&gt;<i> understand
+</I>&gt;<i> the philosophy that drives a software architecture to be able to use it)
+</I>&gt;<i> So major companies will reuse GPLed code that much faster than minor
+</I>&gt;<i> entities
+</I>&gt;<i> - as far as software production is concerned -
+</I>&gt;<i> I think that instead of promoting talents ,GPL comes with a global
+</I>&gt;<i> leverage tendance .
+</I>
+You are totally wrong... GPL allow us the common user to join and build a big,
+great product. From my personal experience, I could have never build such
+project as mine is without GPL.
+
+GPL promote talents as everyone learn fasters, so yes it do a leverage, but you
+get a better level that those close source fanatic. :-/
+
+&gt;<i> Great support is provided to software users , but anyway , any reliable
+</I>&gt;<i> company
+</I>&gt;<i> protects its sources ( Nevrax Executives don ot read that ). Please note
+</I>&gt;<i> that I'm in no way related to MS .
+</I>&gt;<i> Isn't GPL the biggest break to creativity we ever seen since communism
+</I>&gt;<i> died
+</I>&gt;<i> out of realism ?
+</I>
+GPL is not about companies, but about users.
+GPL means to refuse to a lot of rights so that your users can share your work.
+
+I suppose that Nevrax is using GPL because:
+1) It make faster the development.
+2) The user base is also developers base
+3) The open architecture means bugs are found faster and easier.
+4) Port to other OS are almost automatic.
+5) Personal Challenge ( 1st commercial GPL game )
+
+Why in the hell people thing that Communism, Jew or Gay are bad things???
+
+
+&gt;<i> Would GPL minds expect great french wine caves to make their 'elevage'
+</I>&gt;<i> methods publically available - I love great wines - , but who ever
+</I>&gt;<i> thought
+</I>&gt;<i> that we would get better wine through that way , that's not a reliable
+</I>&gt;<i> way of
+</I>&gt;<i> thinking and only fools rush in .
+</I>
+Man... you have serious problems with your ethics.
+If you say... &quot;Mine is the best wine of the world&quot;, just tell me how you did,
+and I will do one better. What we have? A wine that is better than the better.
+And as my way is not secret and open and free to use, someone will use it to
+create an even better one.
+That is what GPL is about, only fools don't understand.
+
+&gt;<i> I don't want to minimize the brightness of people who go promoting the
+</I>&gt;<i> GPL concept ,
+</I>&gt;<i> (I 've the reputation to use my mind in very efficient ways though ) ,
+</I>&gt;<i> but
+</I>&gt;<i> since I'm tightened to realism in my comapany , I totally agree with GPL
+</I>&gt;<i> detractors .
+</I>&gt;<i> Privacy is definitively needed or the world dies out of any will .
+</I>
+Yes, Your world will die, because a new one will appear where there is no more
+secrets, where you won't be able to sell ideas, where you won't be allowed to
+forbid people to copy and share apps.
+
+&gt;<i> I realize i might be removed from the list after that ,
+</I>&gt;<i> but I don't think it will happen .
+</I>
+GPL people is different. We tollerate different opinions.
+
+&gt;<i> Back to development and implementation , lots of to do ahead (I wouldn't
+</I>&gt;<i> be there if not)
+</I>
+You are really inside... you should go back to school and learn something about
+ethics.
