Roy Schestowitz is NOT right and neither are you, shill, hypocrite [Homer].

How about demanding, like a radical Linux / OSS zealot, that other release
their source code and proprietary information to the world, yet when it
comes to your own programs you keep the source code a closely guarded
secret.
You demand Nvidia and ATI release open source OSS drivers yet you
yourselves won't release the source code to your own simpleton script?
Why?
Maybe your code is stolen and being used without permission.
It wouldn't surprise me at all.
That's you [Homer] the hypocrite.
