"In my opinion it would be ridiculous if law did not allow Fabien to make his
own program commercial."

Why is so hard to understand?It has nothing to do with law because Fabien wants
to release his program freely

its not ridiculous,you mean that you wanted law to disallow fabien to release
his new version because there were other programmers who will lose their job
because customers will be convinced that fruit is already better than any
commercial and its a freebie,right?


I mean its not upto law to decide anything if a programmer who believes his
program doesnt attain commercial level,Fabien believes fruit still needs more
update.

Law shouldnt forbid.
