That's petty. You're out of luck playing "Tubular Bells" on "an
old tin can, no matter what it's fitted with" (off the original
album cover). Are you going to complain about that too?
There are innumerable things you can't do with free or paid for
resources, why single out Inferno? Because Vita Nuova are trying
to make a buck out of something Lucent couldn't sell? They're
working hard at it (I believe) and deserve some reward. They also
need to make a living, and this is how they chose to do it.
Really, the missing bit behind the Open Source philosophy is an
understanding that not everyone has to buy it. Or buy it all the
time, tyranny lurks there.
