Why cut off your own nose? (Score 1)

Innovation is the key here, and all the clause does is limit it. Just think if every one of the windows applications out there came with a "for use on commercial operating systems only" clause. Products like Wine and the other emulators would be screwed. Where would that put projects like Win4Lin or Vmware? It just sounds entirely too much like the music industry to me. If I were a band and I wrote a song I would want as many people listening to it as possible. I don't care if they listen on KFGO or WDAX or if they buy my cd or buy my tape. The point is its MY song, I wrote it, YOU listen to it... period. Same thing here. If I write a piece of useful software I want as many people using it as possible. We're not talking about theft of property or anything. Why stifle an entire segment of the population because of decision that they probably didn't make? (i.e. corporate push through or just plain ignorance) I would hope that the community would want to say "If you want to run windows then you can run my software, if you want to run linux then you can run my software, if you want to run bumblef*ckOS then you can use my software." Otherwise you're asking to replace one empire with another empire, and that is NOT what the open-source movement is about. (at least I hope not) How far off base am I here?
