Philosophy

Believe it or not, today you cannot copy most of the content on the web without prior approval of its author. You risk getting sued if you do not obtain his blessing. That is why I need this page to tell you I give up all my so-called "rights" and will let you copy whatever you which for any purpose whatsoever. A more carefully worded declaration is below.

If it bothers you that this page should even exist, check out Richard Stallman's essay The Right to Read.
