Either Stallman-esque principles will need to be implored for products in commerce with very heavy profit-killing taxes on non-compliance, or we'll need to start requiring PEs and liability bonds/insurance, etc. Downvote me all you want, but take your pick: Either be Stallman-esque in openness of design and intent (but not distribution) at risk of heavy end-product sales tax, or your product must be signed off by a software PE in order for you to legally charge money in any way for it or its use (or even pester for donations). Trust me, fall on the Stallman sword, it's smaller. See post history for a better write-up of what I mean by proprientary-tax and the national security threats of not being able to understand and replace all your firmwares. |
