The point being? Modify and redistribute sounds like a chain letter
scheme, or just the shouts of an ignorant crowd with litle clue or real
ability and nothing better to do but cry "modify and redistribute!!!"

Where exactly does "modify and distribute" get you? Great now your b0x
runs some little rebel version of root compromise man. Good work. Much was
accomplished.

Better yet, Why not have everytbody just rewrite everything for the hell
of it, with no real goal in mine aside from lets change something just
because..

Why not print up your own currency? I'll print up mine and we can the
pretend it's all better, solely on the fact that it's "different". Then
the stores can give us change in something else all together. We'll make
the best economy ever.
