I'm always happy to stand up for folks who make things over people who want to police them. Especially when nothing wrong has happened. Maybe take a walk and get some fresh air?
I share your distaste for people whose only contribution is subtraction but suggest you lay off the sarcasm though. Trolls; don't feed. (Well done on your project BTW)
I don't see any sarcasm from me in the thread. I had serious questions. Perhaps you could point out what you see? Thanks for the supportive words about the project.
I've certainly seen people say similar things facetiously, but I was being genuine. I'm not sure if beeboobaa was trolling or not, I try to take what folks say at face value. They seemed to be pretty attached to a particular point of view, though. Happens to all of us. The thing for attachment is time and space and new experiences. Walks are great for those things, and also the best for organizing thoughts. Einstein loved taking walks for these reasons, and me too. It feels better to suggest something helpful when discussion derails, than to hurl insults as happens all too frequently.
I already had my walk this morning, thanks! If you'd like to learn more about copyright law, including about all the ways it's fuzzy around the edges for legitimate uses like this one, I highly recommend groklaw.net. PJ did wonderful work writing about such boring topics in personable and readable ways. I hope you have a great day!
