At least you tried to think, ken_ballard@... .: ken_ballard@... wrote: ?Money does not always follow evil.?

If money is the goal ? money always follow evil (no exemptions).

If money is just a measurement of what you are doing, but the goal is a creative idea ? money is not ...

Here's one quick question: how would you avoid corruption in this one organized world power for open source? You get a few people who suddenly realize how much power they have, and you have the foundation for corruption.?

One of the tools to prevent corruption is ROTATION by certain algorithm ? this is a 100% proven technology (since 18 century). There are other ways, but you are not a professional to discuss this issue with you (so far you did not show a sign that you can understand how to keep HUGE power in balance).

And under my sovereignty, enforced by the copyright laws of the US, I can also decide under what capacity someone else may use my software.?

And what?s your problem here? I propose a much bigger system than the GPLv3, where everyone has protection, get paid according to the job, ...

But if you wish to ?swim among great white sharks? ? nobody will stop you ... So, don?t worry about your sovereignty, but do not forget to write a will.

ken_ballard@... wrote: ?With your unified OSS power, developers would be sacrificing their own sovereignty to a higher power. I'm sorry, but the only time I set my own sovereignty aside is when I'm at work, and that is because I trade my time for money.?

Do you believe that ?great white sharks? will let a ?small fish? to get a piece of the pie? You deny to see where globalization goes (the final destination), don?t you?

What can protect the people from the abuse of power? Maybe Bill Gates who bought a bunch of governments and organized this uncontrolled abuse of human rights (screwed the US Constitution, ...), etc.?

Each power MUST be balanced. Gates? power is NOT balanced. Thus the people need their own POWER to prevent the abuse of power by their government, corporations, ...

Of course you are free to try to be in the middle of the battle, but ... that?s your choice.

Did you ever ask a question ? what was mankind created for? To collect ?colored paper?? To screw their own health by cocaine and the like in a $30 million yacht? To enjoy love of prostitutes?

Or maybe like plants produce oxygen, human also have to produce something that the majority do not understand yet? And if they won?t do this they will be replaced with another species?

If you have skills and apply them ? IT CANNOT BE that you will starve, live in suffering, etc. Note: It?s much safer to apply creative skills.

So do I, but not by your reasons or logic.

ken_ballard@... wrote: ?Stop throwing around conspiracy theories and start thinking with your brain. If Bill Gates wanted to rule the world, would he be stepping aside from Microsoft? I doubt it.?

Right after 9/11 Bill Gates put in his pocket $7 billions, while MS stock went down. Question: where did Bill Gates get that money? Answer: stock fraud (he knew that 9/11 will happen), war, oil, pharmaceuticals (the letters with US-made Anthrax were a part of this scam), etc.

Only a moron can say ? there is no conspiracy here.

Analogy of you wrote: sheep-developers want to live among wolves and control wolves by wolf?s laws. Very ?smart? decision.

ken_ballard@... wrote: ?If I don't want to distribute the source code, I should not be forced to do so.?

What made you think that you won?t have what you want if the GPLv3 will exist?

ken_ballard@... wrote: ?If I want to attempt to make money from my development efforts, I should have that right.?

But what you wish is to earn less money than you can under the system I briefly described. You are free to be poorer if you wish and don?t worry ? the GPL won?t stop you ? you are allowed to be a poor guy.; Posted by: Vily Clay Posted on: 09/27/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
