Actually, the Open Source people have no stance on the issue, since Open
Source is only about a family of software development methodologies, and
does not concern issues of ethics or morality. ;) Still, the debate
predates software by more than 2000 years -- as far as we know, the
first recordings suggest it started off as a differing opinion between
the Sophists on the one hand, and Plato, Socrates and their followers on
the other.

You can be quite sure I will not stop; however there is nothing in that
song that would hurt your ears. :)

You're right, I often forget that the earth is a spheroid. I'll just
have to wait for you guys to have a chance to sort things out.
