That's called a parasitic relationship. Think about it: 1. I have the right to take as I please 2. I have the right to criticize the giver as I please 3. The giver has zero right to take from me in any way I think that's morally repugnant. If this is what open source means, I'm joining Microsoft and I will be the one writing the Halloween papers. | ||||||||

If you think somehow publishing FOSS means you get some right to decide how people use it, or anything besides the licensing of the code, you severely misunderstand what exactly FOSS is about. | ||||||||

If you don't like it, don't release software under that license. | ||||||||
