I thought it was open sourced

Open source respects rights, and I dont have the right to let you spam a bunch of freepers. If you would like to ping my list once asking who would like to be on your anti-oss list that would be fine but what you are doing is the same as a rabid anti-catholic coming on to the forum and hijacking the catholic ping list to troll. Its unethical, rude, and should bore anyone out of high school.

Why can't I take it, change it if I want

Feel free, but you cant use it to *PING* people who dont want to hear from you!

Sure, I already told sitetest ok, but you can't ignore the danger of open source in this simple example. Someone may get something you made, and use it in a way you don't like, and there not be anything you can really do about it. Unfortunately, you can't trust everyone blindly, as you seem compelled to do.
