This is sci.electronics.design.

Here, people give of their time and experience in the furtherance of the spread electronic design knowledge to those with a genuine interest in electronics (rather than freeloaders who just want a shortcut).

Your question, which is more about restricting the freedoms of others, is liable to get short shrift from the commies on this group (I count myself among them) - but doubtless there will be a few who sympathise with you.

If you have to ask a question like this, then my advice would be that you do it elsewhere.



You seem to have misunderstood both me and my question. I apologize if that misunderstanding was due to a lack of clarity on my part.

But I confess, I do not see what part of my question was unclear. Are you under the impression that contracts are bad? Or that licensing another's designs is bad? Or that evolving someone else's design is bad? Or that asking opinions is bad?


In the scheme of things, there is a place for all creatures, even the vultures that wait for the opportunity to pick over the carcasses of those weakened by age.
