I came across a great quote from Napoleon: “Mass at the point of attack”. Principally, Napoleon won numerous battles by throwing all his forces at what he considered the decisive points of battle. What is significant to note, is that he did this by stealing resources from other parts of the battle, and in doing so came close to losing a lot of the battles he won.

The point of releasing code is to let people use it. Most people want to use it commercially, because that’s how the world works. Your code isn’t so special and wonderful that it couldn’t have been written by someone else. So, using the GPL is enforcing assholery on everyone because you think that someday, some other asshole might not make their code available in a time of dire social need. That’s crazy. It’s dealing on pure idealism and ignoring statistics and commercial reality.

Yes, you can tell a lot about me by the things I own. But they are just that — things. They can be stolen, broken, taken, and lost. They should never become distractions to the things that matter most, nor should I ever allow them to define my character, my relationships, and my beliefs.
