oh come on Raj
Proprietary as in copyright has beena round for about 400 plus years
and even ebfore hat it might not have been proprietary/copyright but it was
controlled

but people still persist in this free as in freedom stuff
free as in freedom as in the us means being able to innovate to profit,
contract and make and sell property

"Mind you, I am not asking you to bear witness to what you believe false,
which would be a sin, but to testify falsely to what you believe true - which
is a virtuous act because it compensates for lack of proof of something
that certainly exists or happened." Bishop Otto to Baudolino in Umberto Eco's
Baudolino.
