All this B.S. about freedom doesn't include the right to force your will on others, and that is what a chown to them is, forcing your file on them. If you want them to be able to copy it, protect it so they can. If you want more restrictions, write a program that allows them to access your files and give it setuid for the owner on your directory. -------
