May I remind you of the fact that you should not insult people

REMINDER TO ALL: Please, if you can answer my question, do so. If you can't, don't go saying stupid things.

Are you seriously that greedy?

You should be ashamed of yourself... how about you go do your own damn research?

Nobody here wants to spoon feed you the information..

You should've said that from the beginning.

Having that out of the way, let's continue about our little copyright conversation: Copyright is just legal mumbo-jumbo! Developers shouldn't care about it. It should be handled by lawyers and other such repugnant creatures.

P.S.: I thought that a forum named OSDev would be about OS Development, not OS Management. If not, why am I here again?

...Or is my mistake the fact that I'm not trying hard enough to fit in some kind of member's circle you guys have going on here?

In a parallel universe, perhaps. In such a parallel universe, people might be allowed to drive through town as fast as they like, dump their trash on your lawn and smoke in your house even if you don't want them to.

In this world, some things are illegal, and like it or not, if you get sued on such stuff that can become expensive (as in, bankruptcy).

You might want to check your attitude. OS Management is part of creating / maintaining an OS. And we can't possibly know why you came here. So far, you asked a question, got answers, and right now you're arguing because you didn't like the answers...

So helping me a bit here an there or even asking for your help would mean breaking the law, or what exactly are you saying?

*sigh*

Read. Think. Understand. Think. Write. In that order, please.

"Developers shouldn't care about [copyright]." - "In this world, copyright is a reality, and ignoring it puts you at legal (and financial) risk."

What's there not to understand?

It's not that I don't care about copyright. It's that I'm not making a big deal of it. Anyway, I realized I might be offtopic here. Maybe I should've posted in "OS Design & Theory".
