> If Photoshop were under the GNU, there would be a ton of free versions out there for anyone to download. Same thing with Windows or any other high-profile proprietary app. The BSD license doesn't mitigate against this at all, so here you're arguing in general against open source. But more importantly, there are already a ton of free versions of Photoshop and Windows and Rosetta Code and any other popular application, regardless of their level of sophisticated DRM, just a few clicks away on your-favorite-torrent/filedump-site. The legality of this doesn't scare people. The binaries are free for them, yet somehow these companies are still in business...
