My oh my, you should read before you respond to something in haste.  I
specified greedy when I did because I wasn't talking about all artists
at those times, just the greedy ones.

You, Chris, are making this more complicated than it has to be.  My
view was very much in focus.  If you put on your glasses and read what
Arthur wrote, he was the one implying he'd license it under GPL or
BSD.  Thatpretty well implies it is not an oil painting or poem, but
software in the case about which I was speaking.
