This is not an analogous situation. With open source or basic human decency, I am sharing something that I have a right to (either code I created, or my time/energy). It is not basic human decency for me to give your money away without your consent to someone else.
- belorn 11y agoIf you consider that copyright is equal to someones money, you should really respect their choice in what situation they are consenting to have it getting shared! But why did you say that the world would be a worse place if every time someone did something nice to you, you would have to care about the legal obligation of that act? You either respect that authors has copyright, or you don't. I could never respect someones opinion if they thought that only their copyright is valid.
