You funny guy!The problem here is that you are fixating on the idea that you somehow are or might some day be the Robber Baron. It's like you fancy yourself the hero in Atlas Shrugged. Although you are rather more like the disposable foreign labor that would be employed by such a "hero".As with any creative work: far more benefit goes to those that use the work than those that seek to make themselves rich by controlling access to it. Few people are Robber Barons and most people are just passengers. You are just a noisy poser. You don't have to ever worry about the prospects of making money with any sort of licensing scheme.
Brilliant mind JEDIDIAH. Are folks still ending up dead down Texas way if they disagree with you? Sincerely, Rjack :)
