E.g.: suppose there are 2 snack bars within 100 yards of a school; one
is out of sight, across an intersection and down a side street, and one
is clearly visible across an empty lot. For years the lot has been
unfenced and, human nature being what it is, kids just walk across the
open lot. The owner of the lot then decides to put up a high fence
around it with a combination lock on the gate (now he's raising chinchillas,
or peaches; he won't say) so all the kids start going to the other snackbar,
except for a few that he trusts with the combination. It seems to me
you're suggesting that the snackbar owner who's lost out would have
an action for restraint of trade; I can't see it myself.

Well in Austria there is a law: if you walk through an area that is not public and do this for a very long time years and suddenly the owner stops you from doing this, you could sue him for stopping you doing a usual thing.

But real life issues and software laws are more than two kind of shoes. They are two kind of universes.

Right and Code changes always happens, some approve i some not. And there will be always people not like it.

Fact is the kernel is a GPL thing so logically the coders want to keep it GPL,
