+could the GPL bigots and zealots please find something else to do with

+their time? you're wasting a lot of energy on something that is

+well-understood and needs very little additional explanation.

+> 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???

+> Man... you have serious problems with your ethics.

+> If you say... "Mine is the best wine of the world", 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.

+>

+> Yes, Your world will die, because a new one will appear where there is no more
