That would pretty much defeat the entire goal of free software. Setting up a technical barrier to usage is counter to free software goals.

- crpatino 10y agoAnd what are those goals? Provide free labor to corporate interests? Give away free products to cheap people that cannot care to recognize for one second the personal effort invested by the producers? Creators are going to create, they cannot help it. I do not say that you cannot provide altruistic value to others, but my opinion is that you should care about your own people first. And the big mistake of programmers as a profession is that we do not see other fellow programmers as our own people.
