This is a Philosophical conversation about "Free Software vs Licensed Software". 
It's time to revisit it. 

In the 1980's, as the Personal Computing age was born, there were in fact opposing positions on software. 

One side viewed software as something that should have been "free" to all. They felt money was to be made on the hardware. Software was to be used to entice the consumption of hardware and to spur endless creative growth.  They disliked the idea of copy-writing and patenting software for controlled public consumption. 

The other side viewed software as something that should be owned by its creators or the investors that controlled them. They felt it should be licensed to others with varying levels of enforcement measures.  Does anyone remember when you had to call Apple to load your own software on a new machine?  If I recall, Microsoft was a bit more lax. They'd track number of installs and limit it at 3 or 5, but that may be an inaccurate memory. 

The other side, generally represented by Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, but with proponents that resonate much deeper, won that battle, unfortunately.  It was a battle similar but different to those opposed to the FED just over 100 years ago.  The other side won that battle against the Astor's with the sinking of them and their ilk on the Titanic.  Indeed, there's been a lot of that type of "losing battle" stuff around here for quite some time.  The loss of JFK to the CIA is another example.  Most don't view the Software Control War in the same light, given they didn't see the high profile killings that may or may not have transpired.  None of this has been for the better.  Isn't it time for a new day yet?

 All the worst projections about how bad it could go grossly underestimated the Banking mess it has created.  

The aggregation of money in the hands of Gates and Jobs, followed by lesser creatives in Silicon Valley created a monetary vacuum that affected the Globe.  No amount of Global Banker push back was able to trim or prune those newly rooted money trees in Seattle and Silicon Valley early enough to prevent a diverse ecosystem from turning into a limited wasteland.  As a result, it's clear some most are oblivious to, took another approach.  RIP Seattle.  RIP Portland, and now RIP,  Silicon Valley.  Be it an engineered fall or a natural by product of too much money in the hands of too few due to good timing, as opposed to great skills, may never be clear, but other facts are. 

The volume of software that has been suppressed and omitted under the control of the Software Kings would blow most minds. 

What you are using now is a tiny fractal of what could exist and what can exist in a very short time if the world views software "the other way" now.  

The programmers creating and supporting the current software industries have little to no technical prowess.  Even those who are presented as the leading developers. They are nothing more than slaves to investors and a marketplace that is self serving. They and those they serve look upon software users as farm animals for consumption, unfortunately.  It really is just that carnivorous and cannibalistic, but it needn't be that way. 

Google and Gmail didn't exist decades ago but Microsoft Outlook did, and that was at a time when only Bill Gates and Microsoft seemed to have "more money than God". 

Why didn't Bill and Microsoft create a comparable script for use with MS Outlook?  It's a simple script. 

If you think about it, what has Microsoft actually been able to create for the public after they monopolized the Office Suite space?  Truly, not much.  

Bill Gates and Microsoft Programmers did NOT create MS DOS.  They did not even know how to create those types of programs. It was a reverse engineering project. Bill Gates and Microsoft were NOT the leading producers of spreadsheets and word processing software.  Does anyone remember Quattro Pro,  Lotus 123, or Word Perfect? 

The conniving and clever one's ended up winning a battle.  Magically, then, Bill Gates became a World Health Expert with no more expertise there than he had for any of the products that made him rich.  

To be clear, Gates created Basic, which is in fact the basis of one of the coolest programming languages most have never seen nor appreciated, but it wasn't a money maker, so you don't know about that part of it.  Isn't that ironic?!

This Email Generator utility is a simple example of something that should have existed decades ago. 

It was prototyped in a few hours and fairly functional in its current form with under 16 hours of total work over a two day time frame.

With another 8 hours of work this website existed, the code had been cleaned up for easier reading, and some references were added to point to those who had made prior, public contributions that were needed to complete this in so little time. 

It was created by someone most would never assume to be a Programmer, over a few evenings after doing administrative office work in an Acupuncture office and some home remodeling. 

The entire process from frustration with work flow dysfunction, to declaration of a desire to fix it, to a working commercial system was all documented publicly over a 3 day period to prove a point. Three of the Worlds "middle age" Technology Leaders were given the opportunity to watch it come about, along with the CEO of Google.   One of those included is a bit more than "middle aged", but hopefully he's got a long life span in the making!

It was important to do it that way so someone could vouch for the creative process, the problems encountered during the creative process, the resources and utilities created by others to work around them, and some new changes at Google which enabled this cool tool, but also limited a few simple functions that would have been easy just a few years ago.  Their progress in one area has now retarded what was simple to do prior, and that is always a concern that should never be overlooked as systems grow.  

 This tool will change the way the world uses email. It will raise awareness to loosh generation processes that serve no positive purpose, and it should make you wonder, "where else can we de-loosh this place!"

In case you're wondering, this is not a "lucky", "one off hit".   This was an accident.  It only came about as we tried to promote a library of other tools and information that make this look small, with the most relevant to date being a new way to learn about and do Bookkeeping.   Talk about de-looshing a place?! 

The World awaits...
