Wait. Now you're referring to their actually existing and titled "manifesto" to deny these guys are communists? Hysterical! Exactly why I come to these threads, if you told others people like this existed they wouldn't believe it.

The rest of your post seems to be a rant against inventors of all kinds who don't give their inventions away "for the good of humanity". So just as I figured, free software isn't where you guys stop begging for free goods, it's obviously only the beginning.

So where is it you are supposedly "in exile", right here in the US? Must be, since your philosophies seem to be completely contrary to the American Dream.

Your whole rebuttal to the Stallman statement is a Beavis and Butthead-esque 'he said manifesto!' Your response to my explanation of the purpose of America's IP protection in the first place, and thus my support for OSS, is to discount the purpose of the Founders as some sort of rant. Your final words are just an insulting exposition without any support.

You are a fine example of why the open source movement can do nothing but increase its adherents. With advocates like you for the Microsoft/proprietary crowd, it seems rather unlikely that anyone will be converted in your direction. You really do need to climb back in the sandbox with the other toddlers before you play with the big kids.
