Sometime today, Philip S Tellis wrote:
People should be compensated for their ideas - if those ideas are revolutionary. The ideas in Word, and almost all commercial software are by no means revolutionary.
The question is - who decides whether something is revolutionary or not? I honestly feel these dicussions about IP, freedom, etc. are useless beyond some extent. Like RMS told someone from the audience - ``... in that case, we simply do not agree with each other... [period]''.
