It would only be "the same thing" if Zed chose to release his content under the GNU Free Documentation License, which he did not.
It's his content, and he can do with it what he choses. If he doesn't want folks to "copy, modify, and distribute" his content, that's fine with me (not that it matters, since it's _his_ content).
- jpcx01 16y agoReally? You see no similarities between these 2 cases? I only see one big difference. One author cares about only himself and his own little world
- JshWright 16y agoI'm not even sure this is worth replying to, but what the heck... Zed has absolutely no moral obligation to write stuff for free and release it for anyone to do whatever they want with. Do you express the same moral outrage over every book in the library with a copyright notice printed on it? I surely hope that every piece of code and content that you ever create is released under a license that allows anyone to do what they please with it, otherwise... you don't have a moral leg to stand on.
