I do. Email doesn't need a graphical application and the excessive resource usage of a GUI.

If I need to view any attachments, I can use a mailcap definition for each type that I want to access (and can update that on the fly if something surprises me).

And I'm contributing to the mutt-kz project as time permits to add the features that would make this sort of mail client all the more useful.

No, the GPL does not force others to share.

It most certainly does. If you modify code written with the GPL and then release it you have to provide the source code. That's the POINT of the GPL. If you don't release the product for others then, and only then, are you not required to release the source code.

"The GPL is the first copyleft license for general use, which means that derived works can only be distributed under the same license terms. Under this philosophy, the GPL grants the recipients of a computer program the rights of the free software definition and uses copyleft to ensure the freedoms are preserved, even when the work is changed or added to. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which the BSD licenses are the standard examples. [from wikipedia]

A friend of mine who does a web comic turned me on to an online service that helps to do ad campaigns and, long story short, I started advertising through that site. The advertising costs a LITTLE money (literally pennies), so I figured enabling AdSense on our blog site could help to generate even a little fundage that I could use to pay for the ad campaign.

So last week I enabled google's AdSense on the site. I had it running previously in the feeds and never paid much attention to it. And in the 2 1/2 years of the blog's existence it had accumulated a whopping $3 in ads. But after three days of the ads running on the site I got an email from Google saying they were closing my AdSense account for "generating invalid activity". As far as I can tell, the ad campaign site regularly pings any URL that hosts ads to ensure it's up and running so that advertisers are getting what they paid for.

Has anybody else had a problem like this? I have no idea what Google means by "invalid activity". I daily check my site for comments, and have clicked a couple of the AdSense links since they ARE related to my and my listener's interests, but can't imagine a single click is "invalid activity"."
