Brave GNU world about the word "virus"



Uh, are we still talking about this?

And since you asked the question (I presume it's not rhetorical), the
answer is Yes, people's freedom to hoard anything should be limited,
whether it's atta or software.  Just because you apply the label of
freedom to something doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing:
Hitler had freedom to kill millions of Jews.
