Wow, you're really reaching there. Trying to draw parallels between software licensing and war.

Regardless if that behavior is "be nice to other people and share your software" or it's "agree to keep this copy to yourself and never share it with anyone," it's control. So, by that logic, Mike, even you have a personality disorder by seeking to control the behavior of others through your licensing terms. Funny how that works, isn't it? -- Chris "I trust the Democrats to take away my money, which I can afford. I trust the Republicans to take away my freedom, which I cannot."
