|
|
|
|
Everyone seems to think that to "allow" someone to write a non-free manual
|
|
is somehow a detriment. This is simply not the case. Free manuals are
|
|
great. I maintain two (the Networking HOWTO and WWW HOWTO) myself.
|
|
|
|
This is not about whether or not we should allow free manuals. That is a
|
|
no-brainer. It is about the "option" for a potential professional writer
|
|
to enable the ability to make a living off of the documentation he is
|
|
creating. The inability to allow a person to make a potential living doing
|
|
something he loves, writing Linux documentation is a crime all in its own.
|
|
|
|
Everyone speaks about "freedom". Don't forget that it is impossible to
|
|
have freedome without the restriction thereof. Without the a basic
|
|
restriction of freedom you obtain a non definition similar to that of
|
|
Anarchy.
|
|
|
|
This may not be a bad thing. It would be great if everyone worked within a
|
|
barter system. A system where everything you aquired was earned through a
|
|
mutual hard work, trade off scenario. At this point this is not
|
|
realistic.
|
|
|
|
My political diatribe aside. Consider it.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
|
|
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
