You were already proven wrong! Let alone that you are defeated by a naive miscalculation. Business models based on secret recipes don't grant to earn money. Even without "reverse engineering"/" disassembling" the idea could be taken over. I don't clame that the GPL is better (or less good) as MIT, BSD or what ever else licenses. I only claim that you are spreading misinformation. There are reasons for different licenses, so it's important to understand those reasons. The problem you have got is, that you don't understand anything at all. Note, the world is not divided into Communists and Capitalists, or into idiots and people who know objective facts.=20 Since you don't understand the reasons and consequences of the different open source licenses, you might want to take a look at the Creative Commons, since it explains an open minded worldview beyond your Communist-Capitalist-idiots-misinterpreted-objective-facts crap. To some extend it also fits to open source software licensing. Broadly speaking the Creative Commons is spread into =E2=80=9CApproved for = Free Cultural Works=E2=80=9D and not =E2=80=9CApproved for Free Cultural Works= =E2=80=9D licensing. Programmers as well as artist could earn enough money to make a living from work, that is also available for free as in beer. Some programmers and artists even don't want to make money at all with their software or artwork. However, programmers or artists are free to strike out on their own. Users are free to do the same. We have the freedom of choice. The pitfall of this freedom is, that it's annoying to care about all the details. As for myself, my life is to short to even read all end-user licence agreements, let alone to entirely understand those I read. If a programmer wants to sell software, the business model could be to provide easy to understand end-user licence agreements, that give users advantages and a free open source code, that gives advantages to competitors. For artists there is the CreativeCommons, it's a construction kit. For coders there are different FLOSS licenses, all with their pros and cons. If you remove the different names of those FLOSS licenses, you could consider it a construction kit, too, comparable to the CreativeCommons construction kit.
