you're right, i find the procede very insulting and fascistic ..

it's only to explain that i certainly know what it means
when i write 'NOT FOR REPRESSIVE USE'
and that i will not take that statement away.
i'm also here with people who suffered from Pinochet,
you can check indymedia, radio numero critico and radio neta ( valpo ).

the problem is to copyright something like
'internationalisation of pd'
or
'unit testing in pd'
which are really ( or should be ) common and shared concepts.

the second problem is to present DesireData
as a new project, independent of PD
( and, de facto, to copyright it ).

the problem is to copyright what you haven't done alone..
the problem is ethical..
and i know i'm right.

saludos y feliz anio,
