[Fsf-friends] [off-topic not] vision of an enlightened indian mystic on copyleft

[Linux Lingam]

dear all,

just discovered this, thought it worthy to share with you:



"Things can be copyrighted,
thoughts cannot be copyrighted,
and certainly meditations cannot be copyrighted.
They are not things of the marketplace. Nobody can monopolize anything.
But perhaps the West cannot understand the difference between an
objective commodity and an inner experience.
For ten thousand years the East has been meditating
and nobody has put trademarks upon meditations."

- Osho

philosophical view and 'darshan' on copyrights. haven't found much.
