just some good fun trolling...
not at all....asking someone who doesn't agree with your opinions to not use your product....that is disgusting when it is in regard to free software
I think restricting it at all is disgusting...even asking is disgusting...
I feel it is a big deal because one of the principles of free software is that everyone is equal in regards to using, sharing, changing, and studying free software. It flies in the very face of what...

cinco.....de mayo?
....but they don't need to do so, since you already have what you need
