I would say: that individuals should have the right to use their *tools* however they like, including fixing them, modifying them and helping their neighbours by lending them.
Which boils down to : this is my stuff - I do with it
whatever I want.
So, if I write a program, whose "stuff" is it? Mine? Yours if you're using it? the "boils down to" is a bit simplified, isn't it.
I was referring to physical property - computer hardware in this case. Again, the argument is that since people own the hardware they should control it (otherwise they don't really own it).
Hence we agree (and Stallman, too).
If you write a program you are the author. You can keep it secret but you can't prevent people from copying it/using it if you somehow make it public. As to who 'owns' it, the question doesn't make much sense because, again, intellectual 'property' doesn't really work liky physical property.
So again, agreed. :) -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147
