Who? There's a non-participant who showed up to troll, and Carlos who
says he wishes things were different so he could learn and experiment
more.

But - even if the list were swarming with looters itching to violate
others' rights, how would the app store solution you push be better
for stopping copying? Closing the source wouldn't help for the reasons
I gave in my first reply. How does closing source and adding yet
another API and distribution model make copying harder?
