   I didn't need to be told such a thing. I already know that.   
   And people are welcome to do exactly that.   
      
   When did I ever say anything otherwise?

   Pardon? I told someone to do something? I don't remember that.   
   Who and when? People are free to write code and say "this can   
   only be used by communists and rapists". It's a free world. I'm   
   not going to tell them they can't do that. I'm not even going to   
   tell them what they "should" do with their own fucking hard work.   
      
   I explained why I made my stuff public domain, and then   
   responded to anyone who attempted to say that public   
   domain was inferior.

   Are you being impolite by putting words into my mouth?   
      
   Basically lying about me.   
      
   Or is that fair play?
