Now it's time to get the big hammer out and *restrict* people's freedom of choice. It's simple. You can not get more freedom by restricting access or choice. You just can't. Freedom means being free to make a choice that others consider wrong, dangerous, or foolish. Perhaps there would be less objection to the FSF and associated antics if it were called the "GNU software foundation". It's certainly not about freedom. drue -- As implied by email protocols, the information in this message is not not confidential.
