I don't mind paying for a book (actually, just spent hundreds of euros
on the last batch of my study bibliography...) yet I think is nice if
brico people that can't reach the book or the money can get hold of a
link. in any case, careful with the use of the IP word :^)

Well it was somehow sneaking into the discussion and I've nailed it,
but it wasn't really the issue provoking the debate.

the @dyne.org mail doesn't means any ownership. Sub-root can be a
better term. I know I'm fighting perceptions here, however thanks for
the benefice of the quotes :^)

that sounds more like "Als je je kont verbrand dan moet je op de
blaren zitten." (If you burn your butt, then you have to sit on the
blisters.) which in any case is a statement of "cause-consequence".
Mine was more intended as a friendly exortation, however Mr.Paw got
well grinded through this, I hope he still likes to stay around and
appreciate this space for the challenging criticism bubbling up.
Quite unique on Internet (clearnet) nowadays, where everyone is
consumed in hiding disapproval, like in the Facebook world, where
either you "like it" or you shut up.

ciao!
