Hello CCL-ers!
in my opinion the results of basic research, including computer programms,
must be accessible freely to every human beeing who whishes so. In the
first instance science is founded by the whole community in a state or
most of all via taxes, but also in an abstract manner since sicience and
cultre are properties of the whole society. Not speaking about moral or
philosphical principles. Last but not least it turns out, that
commercial
QC programms grow old and get inflexible much faster than free codes.
Of
course its a pity, that able scientists who work hard to contribute to
high-level computer programms cannot earn their money more easily.
best regards
