Blame the person who made the deal then.
exactly, two parties made the deal and i blame both.
I don't. One is doing business and promoting its product. Quite natural. You'd do the same. It doesn't matter if you think that your product confirms to morality or whatever. No one's ever wrong. POV.
Anyway, the other party however IS to be blamed for not making a proper decision that affects quite a lot of people. Again, they have the choice of rejecting the proposal.
Btw, you left a question unanswered.
i don't think two right's justify a wrong.
POV. They might and they might not. Apparently, in your point of view software freedom is more important than human lives.
This one certainly isn't.
isn't it?
Nope. You ignore the POVs. See below.
No one is entirely evil or entirely good. At least in my point of view. There's good in whatever small amount, everywhere. You only need the vision to spot it. I admire Hitler as well, but certainly not for the holocausts.
try telling that to a Jew.
Technically, the Jews have done quite a few `wrong' things in the past as well.
Anyway, try telling someone helped by Gate's money that his life matters less than software freedom.
Also, try telling the xemacs developers that RMS is to be worshipped.
``From my point of view the Jedi are evil!''
``Well then you are lost!''
``Hmm. To a dark place this line of thought will take us. Great care we must take."
Pity. It was no use in the end. A simple POV quoted above shouted ``I need him!!'' and the rest, as they say, is history.
POVs can make a difference ;)
P.S. We're talking philosophy now! YAAY!
