So, for example, if someone wrote a CODEC for an IDEN system, is it legal to distribute, and is it legal to use?

Open source has its benefits to the greedy companies..
This is what the new C block spectrum is suppose to be based on, will see.
Yet at the same time your privacy will be invaded.. Watch.

The C Block auction has nothing to do with Open Source anything.
And as for the "privacy" line, god only knows what too unrelated mistaken facts you are tying together there,

I'm thinking beyond conventional thought, I guess. 
Open access open source, same line of thinking...
Embedded GPS contacting server = privacy concern... Or at least if hacks on the new devices in the future will suffice my foresight.

I new those would be your responses. Especially with the cell phone comment. Right now, for the most part current cell phones do not ask a server for anything unless you use Googlespy or some other tracking service.

I never said "liberals"; I said "democrats". Those are two separate words, though I'm not surprised at either a) you're not reading carefully or b)you are simply conflating the two. What's more astounding though is you trying to disavow or move away from the definition you posted in the other thread, saying in essence that (in Marxist theory at least) socialism is nothing but a stepping stone to communism, following the demise of capitalism. If you are saying(or using someone else's words to say) that communism inevitably follows socialism, in a thread talking about our democratic leaders trending towards socialism, how can you say here you have never linked the two(rhetorical question)?

I never said it wasn't, I was saying that it is folly to equate Hollywood "art" to museum "art". If we are to follow your logic, then pornography would be equal as well, in terms of "art."

One complete, and one incomplete sentence do not a paragraph make.

I've stated before, to you, that my avatar is of the relatively innocuous chemical dextromethorphan. I guess your quip doesn't fit your standard of ridicule though, since it wasn't composed in a paragraph. For those that aren't busy conflating separate things in the furtherance of their agenda, this is what morphine looks like:
