No one here is interested in reading inflammatory posts about tiresome old flame wars. You call it an awful virus, I call proprietary licenses a distasteful cancer. You call it insane, I call it entitled attitude to other peoples work.<p>At work and private life I don&#x27;t include other peoples copyrighted work if I don&#x27;t have a license for it. It&#x27;s <i>one simple rule</i>. If I don&#x27;t want to agree to the license because its too expensive or it put requirements on me which I refuse (like NDA&#x27;s), then I have a simple choose to make. I can chose not use it, I can implement it myself, or I can hire someone else to do it.
