After the debate rages on both strands of HN on the ethical decisions of individuals - Dustin to lock your system to copy the idea Nathan Dustin. It will not surprise many, I stay on the subject. History has shown that copying often leads to useful innovation and can help expand a market.

Become a shortcut for those who do and benefit from a similar job, becoming a common vocabulary.
The situation calls for things, both those who create the work, and those who want to use.
