How many times do we have to say "Think free speach, not free beer." You never get
nothing for nothing, this is a point that I believe no one will argue. The fact is
that you are free to do what you like with the software, sell it, print it out and
eat it. The only thing you're not allowed to do is stop others from doing the same
thing.
