You have as yet to prove that he advocates stealing. All you've done is quoted him encouraging people to share software. Or are you such an extremist that you think that no one shold be allowed to share software? If so, you're as bad as the worst of the publishers, because you're actively trying to take authors rights away from them. That makes you a much bigger threat to programmers than Stallman. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
