- It's called *LIFE* my poor Anty

"You hear about someone beginning an open source project whose purpose is to duplicate your software's functionality, and make it available free.
How do you feel about that project?"
Obviously I wouldn't feel great about it, but hey, that's LIFE my friend. So what you're saying is if I open a lemonade stand and charge 25 cents for a cup of my luscious pink stuff, a person down the street should not be able to open a stand themselves and charge 10 cents, and yet another person simply should not be allowed to hand it out for free. Do you realize how unrealistic and CHILDISH that is?
"Pleased and flattered that what you had discovered was so important and useful that someone else thought it worthwhile to steal its value?"
Well, apparently if it is being given away free, how much value would it have left? If it is free then it has become a commodity. Could you sell napkins or water for 100$ a pop? Has the world come to and end because we can all get water now? Are there other untapped opportunities to sell something else possibly?
