[Air-l] "It can't be legal unless you pay for it"

[David Brake]

Recent discussion of the legality (or otherwise) of downloading audio  
reminded me of a recent news story here in the UK about a trading  
standards officer (locally-based business 'policeman') who found  
people selling discs with Firefox on it and complained to a  
representative of the Mozilla Foundation that "I can't believe that  
your company would allow people to make money from something that you  
allow people to have free access to."

Copyleft and creative commons etc is evidently hard for many of the  
'ordinary public' (or even supposed experts!) to understand...
