Please let's not call these publications "content"; that term disparages them.

One thing I'd like to see is more interop among free software > solutions. I think we are miscommunicating. We are not talking about specific programs. We are discussing proposed ethical criteria. What I suggest we do is test these proposed criteria against specific cases and see whether their requirements would be ethically adequate for those cases. I can say this much: the proper requirements for something that stores your private files are totally different from those appropriate for publications. A proposal to treat both of those with one set of criteria is misguided. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
