bitty talks the talk
---they want no restrictions to taking others ideas and using them---

Can he walk the walk? Of course not. Look at the facts, bitty. In every infringement case involving OSS and proprietary software it was the proprietary company that took code from OSS. Can you name a single case where the opposite occured? No, you can't. So, it seems that its the proprietary companies that do all the taking. They are dumb enough to think they can embed it in their 'secret' code and nobody will notice.

As usual, bitty, wrong again.

As far a honesty is concerned, how much more honest can you be than to open your source code for all the world to see? It seems this, again, is where the proprietary companies fail the basic test.

Wrong twice, in the same whine. Another record for bitty.
