In that case, of course, there wouldn't be anything wrong in having Microsoft Office or Oracle. In that case, of course, there wouldn't be any need for campaigning for Free Software. Well, let people use whatever they want, what is the harm? By extension, why should we work for Open Access or Free Knowledge? Well, I don't think that way. Those who think that way are, of course, free to do so. Best -- V. Sasi Kumar http://swatantryam.blogspot.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
