Yes, they are. I've learned better since then. Can you?

I can learn better, but I'm not convinced. We're just disagreeing at
something.
I think, the next time, I'll reply with a similar post but perhaps
include a sentence dedicated to telling OP where to look for better
information, that should settle it.

To marginalize something means to move it to the margins; in this
context, that implies that it has been rendered unimportant. The
concept behind this meaning is that center of something is more
important than it's margins. Saying that you are "self marginalizing"
means that you are rendering yourself unimportant.

Ah, thanks.

I tried to search for "self-marginalising", but the results I get from
dictionaries are definitions of the word marginalise, which don't
help. What do you mean?

Also, would you mind explaining these posts by you? Were you self-
marginalising as well, or is there something in those cases that made
you post what you posted?

They appear similar to mine.

It seems to me that a new RH has appeared on the scene. He appears to
have finally seen how stupid all this posturing is.

Or, to look at it another way: Once one person admits that there exists
this charade of "chosing to behave as if (i.e., pretending) I didn't
know what OP is talking about", it basically ruins it for everybody.
So here, vippy, you've ruined it for everybody. I think RH sees that
there's no point in this little charade anymore.

No, no sensible commercial person would worry about such a thing.

Hmm. So you are saying that no sensible commercial person has any
morals. Personally I think you are wrong and there are a lot of
commercial people who do have morals and are concerned with sticking to
licensing terms. There are also a lot who are too concerned about being
caught breaking the rules to break them.

Of course you could have just stated whether or not you permit use in a
commercial context.

Successful businessmen have an instinctive feel for when rules can be bent.

Better and more successful ones know when they don't need to be bent.

(However MiniBasic has a special licence).

By your argument that won't do you any good because business people will
ignore it.

It's successful businessmen like those who keep patent landsharks in the
big money.

I think you are mistaken. Deliberate copyright infringement
seems like a pretty bad idea. Never mind the morality
there's the possibility of being sued or at the least
some nasty publicity.
