Some of the my most cherished expressions of my creativity are
the code that I write. I am appreciative of the mellifluous cadence
of contributory blocks building to the finale of the result, to the
elegant simplicity of transforming an abstract alorithm into an
enchanting dance of procedures and classes.
Are you suggesting that I distribute my code under terms that
barbarians could not destroy the enthralling buety of my code?
If so, what are you doing in a channel about free software?
If not, why should documentation be different? Are you
implying that my code has less artistic value than some guys
documentation?
(umm, imagine me with a smile while saying this, I am not incensed)
