I've written a lot of software, and almost all of it I have placed in
the public domain.  (A little of it is owned by others, and even of
that, most is free, in both senses.)

But I haven't written anything directly comparable to the program under
discussion.  So when I say that (while I don't go as far as Tony) your
stance has taken you down significantly in my eyes, am I too "just
posturing"?
