Voltaire, an early Free Culture activist?

“The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.”

— Voltaire

  5. Just like every move powered by hate against proprietary software, this blog died after the initial enthusiasm waned...

    The software of GNU savannah is another example.

    The lesson is clear. If you are doing what you are doing from hate, you probably shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. If you do what you do because you like it (example: MPC-HC), and not in order to stick it to teh man, then go ahead.

  6. kurkosdr,

    You really are a character. You yourself prove the retardation of the properitary software model by pirating all your shit. How the fuck is a business model where anyone can easily copy your shit (because that's WHAT COMPUTERS DO) sustainable?

    No I don't need this blog to destroy proprietary software. Nature will do that by itself. And you are helping.
