I guess that's what I get for appealing to rational standards and good faith. What a crime. Anyways, I think you've proved my point.

I also favor in Sushi's position... But... How can he tell if you are using it in Israel, huh? I know that a lot of games you buy say you are to run it on ONE, only ONE computer, but, people Burn the CD to play together, mount the images on virtual drives, and so on. Unless the program connects to the internet and checks your IP or something, I don't really see how he can find out. Even if he did program it to, we have firewalls, and you could just disconnect your internet during the installation. Anyway, I'm sure he won't hire lawyers and sue you or something if he found out... That would cost a lot of Money...

I see that license as what I called "reverse boycott"( I just made up that expression), instea da group of peple boycottign a product cause of the behavior of the governament of the countriy where it is made, the maker of the product is boycotting the epeople of a country cause he disagrees witht he behavior of the geovernament there

I don't reallly see anything wrong with it, it doesn't say the people of israel are evil, inferior nor anything, he just says that he doesn't want his product being used there, I see it like a kind of peacefull protest...

I don't want to get into this from a racial point of view. Race isn't involved. I look at this logically, and it annoys me.

The Israeli government is not going to use GlovePIE for anything. I'm sorry, but Israel has the technological know-how to produce their own software that is far more advanced and specified to their needs.

I'm all for boycotts when they have an effect, when they make sense, but this boycott isn't going to change anyone's mind in Israel. All it does is hinder any Israeli citizens who may want to use these scripts for non-military purposes, as well soldiers who may want to use the scripts on their down-time to play games on their PCs with the WiiRemote. You may hate war, but you can't blame the soldiers for that. The GlovePIE license does nothing to change things in Israel or anywhere else. All it does is inconvenience soldiers who fight to serve their countries--even if the fights their countries get into are wrong--and Israeli citizens.

If you want to make a statement, boycott the people who make the decisions that you're unhappy with: "You can not use this software if you were the 43rd president of the United States," and keep the clause saying the script can not be used for "military purposes." But don't make a license that restricts all citizens of Israel or all soldiers. Unless you have something against all of the people of Israel and all of the soldiers in the world, this doesn't make sense.

The license seems like a very petty way to express an opinion about an issue, and as a result, real people who have nothing to do with that issue are adversely affected. In my opinion, that's pretty bad form.

"I don't want to get into this from a racial point of view. Race isn't involved. I look at this logically, and it annoys me." Wii scriptsare universal i thought carl was planning to make this discurssions where a Wii is going to be sell

Jewish people are religious, they are not a race, Israel is not only a country of jewish people. Muslism, catholics, atheos and all that people that thought god is real are from Israel too . Jewish people must know that.
Israel country is a space where the USA´s establishment (a lot of people who practice religions like scientific economics ) send a lot of arms for to make the war to the Chii muslims everywhere. Obviusly this is not the real target of the USA establishment. The real target is try to low his commercial deficit of 450.000.000.000 $ selling a lot of arms that then Israel will customize to sell it to the european´s countries -like mycountry, Spain- and then this european countries sell it to african and Asian countries. And this way everybody can spit something to other people and figth in this world.

Equal to everybody buying arms to USA. Integral to everybody unsafe. Derivate to everybody with nuclearmisil´s shield. Equal Circular logic of the war or more $ to the deficient industrial production of USA.

Therefore if you can see in USA´s financial market this illusion of overproduction YOu will have the logical of Carl´s text.

I´m a political scientist because i have a license and Chaos, you know nothing about politic because logic is not a political concept but i´m agree with you.

FUMAO LATVERIA PREVAILS. And sorry for my english

I never said the US's policies or Israel's policies were correct. All I said was that Carl's license doesn't change anything. It just inconveniences people who have nothing to do with those policies. Logically (logic applies to everything, my friend), his license is pointless besides any personal value it has to him. It isn't actually having any positive impact on the world.
