snipped rant

Every bunch that wants government to enforce licensing talks about
"protecting the consumer" and "raising standards of professionalism",
but in reality it is all bout restricting the market, raising prices,
and picking who gets to practice the trade. Doctors, lawyers, barbers,
manicurists, morticians, tile-setters, etc.

BULL****.
Allow you to hang a shingle and call yourself a Lawyer, Barber or a
Doctor because you watched and helped a few times?

"Protecting the consumer" and "raising standards of professionalism" is
precisely why we have licensing.


The chief determinant of
which enterprises are free of this and which are lousy with it is the
simple aspect of how easy it is to lean on people trying to do it. You
can police the drywall trade, you can't software over the Internet.

Make some software that harms someone.
You know full well the software license is one long weazel clause.
Stand behind your software like we do our trade Kinch.
