That's a pretty silly comment really.
Thank you Guest for the polite injection into this discussion ;-)
You may not care that your code is used on TiVo-like devices where you can't substitute your own, modified version and run that instead, but if others do, what's wrong with that?
There's nothing wrong with that, i'm just trying to point out the implicit dangers of such licensing approaches to the free software community.
Or by your argument there's nothing wrong with people wanting to sell their monopolized, closed-source software for $75 apiece either, just because it's their code, right?
