> But it's not free software...
Yes it is. It really is. When I see people say this, which I do from time
to time, it makes me sad for many reasons. The parallel with religions,
with the Catholic schism, with the fissiparous history of the Protestant
church, is so obvious it's almost embarrassing to point out. But I must.
The `free' software people have won, but they're so intent on having
everyone agree with their fundamentalist and faith-based definition
of `free' that they label many of their allies as enemies. It's painful to
watch. It hurts.
