Look at the Arduino, for example=Open source, and peolple can trade copies of it; Still it is up to the person to decide if they want to support the original project or not...And it is a fact that the market is more and more getting flooded with ILLEGAL CLONES, CHEAP AND LOW QUALITY COPIES of the arduino...WHY ?!? When they can try trade under another name legally ?!? Not fair !!
People are what they do, and how they behave.
It is the situation that reminds me the words of MARTIN NIEMÖLLER..."AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME". Only when it touches their own poket people tend to get a straight point of view, instead of the selfish most tend to adopt !!
