Feel free to do so.

They will be rolling on the floor laughing.


Your ISP responds to serious complaints of spammy behavior in such a
manner? Then I will suggest to *other* ISPs that it be subjected to a
UDP.


You seem to ignore the fact that noone that had read all your
posts can consider anything you write seriously.

The other ISP's would laugh of you as well.

Again: you can not copyright a protocol.


THANK YOU for finally seeing the light.


So now we agree that your statement:

It's GPL software. ANYONE can make a new version with a changed
protocol whenever they want to.


Sue you can also create your own improved HTTP protocol.

And what good will that do you ?

None. Because no browsers or web sites will support it.

Anyone could create an improved MySQL protocol, but since
it will not be able to communicate to MySQL databases
there ar enot much point.

 > Any greater impact from MySQL doing so

follows solely from their marketing position and has no basis in law
or "ownership" of anything.


Whatever.

The result is the same.

Also, nobody has to upgrade if they don't want to. This isn't
Microsoft software we're talking about here. Again, it's GPL, so you
can keep an old version around in source form and recompile it. You
can edit out any auto-update functionality, or anything that makes it
break if its attempts to update itself are blocked, and recompile.


You can.

But noone will want to do that.
