drum roll please

Since IAHM-COL, SHM, and I are kind of cut off from the "official" world by royal decree of King Curt and his chancelor Grima-Snake-Tongue ...[ oh wait, wrong story ] ... we are sometimes a little confused and have to ask those who have still access about what is going on.

The answer is no..... as you're not wearing a hair shirt.

What you can do however is use a GPL version and restrict the rights of it to be copied, worked on or distributed by people you don't take a fancy too.

It's all very simple and that's why the same questions get asked over and over again.

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

Well if I've understood it correctly over the last few months, you're failing to respect the rights of those gentlemen that wish to rewrite the rules of GPL over the rights of the original authors... which makes you very selfish.

Look I'm just not getting my argument quota in for the month.
