Bzzzt! Player number two goes back to Clue Camp. Your statement is equivalent 
to saying that since others want to steal from you, you should just leave 
your doors unlocked.

Sorry, but I can't agree. *All* my software is GPL precisely because I don't 
want greedy thieves to steal my code. Those who license with BSD are in 
effect saying "Here's this code I created. Go ahead and sell it and profit 
from what you didn't create."

If a platform is licensed such that that platform won't allow OSS, then that 
platform deserves to die a swift death.

My apologies if this comes off as a bit too strident, but I have a personal 
bone to pick with "business" and "marketing" people who suck the blood of 
those who actually do the work.

I think it's highly commendable of Sam to provide great software we're free 
to use, but is *not* free for parasites to abuse.
