Re: EASTERBROOK's "quick look" on the GPL and Wallace's claim

LOL.

backinfullforce commented (quoting smarty EASTERBROOK):

------
"Copyright law gives authors *a right* to charge more, so that they can 
recover their fixed costs ( and thus promote innovation ), but they do 
*not require* authors to charge more. You hear that, Williams? You are 
not required to charge more once a piece of your intellectual property 
exists.
------

And so it is perfectly okay for copyleft ("free as in freedom") to 
suppress *a right* given by copyright law and *require* to charge zero 
to cover costs of creating a piece of intellectual property to exist. 

Impeccable logic.
