What everybody is neglecting to figure out here is that when we issue
a piece of software and call it public-domain, that doesn't PREVENT
anyone from selling it for a profit - it ENTITLES them to do it!  Only
the protections exercised by RMS on GNU, or in a less restrictive sense
by Rick Adams on news, KEEP the software from being exploited for profit.
