Gerard,
You should probably reread the parable. It's in Luke 15.
I'm sure Gerard is quite familiar with the parable. But for anyone who wants a refresher, this version is fine:

Me, I have always loved it, and I think the welcoming of the Prodigal Son is a profoundly sweet and humane act.
So I'm a little weirded out at the notion that we should turn away the prodigal sons who are trying to find a way to come into the free culture community.
