You know what's more important to me than to do whatever I wish to with your code? Doing whatever I wish to do the code of every single person using your code.

You know what's more important to me than to do whatever I wish to with your code? Doing whatever I wish to do the code of every single person using your code. Of course, the chain can't end with me and I'll have to publish my own changes. But it's worth it, I'm not a proprietary software asshole, and in the end I'll benefit from other people's changes and insert it back in my own code and improve my sales that way. You, me, the other programmers, Stallman, the users, everybody wins! That's how I see it anyway. In the end, you have your own priorities and if you like to give without always receiving, that's understandable too. Ah, tradeoffs...
