    Since when is the net "meant to be full of free usefull tools"? If
I pour blood, toil, tears, sweat, and time into developing software,
what makes anyone else think that he has a right to it for free? If I
choose to make the fruit of my labors available free of charge, that is
my decision. But no one else has a *right* to it. There are a lot of
people who blather on about "the spirit of the internet" as a way of
wanting to get something for nothing.
