The original purpose of open free software is that recipients/users of the software may modify, fix the software to their own tastes, without a lockin to happen. As simple as that. I do remember a RMS tale of a printer getting jammed, where he wanted to fix the issue but was unable to do so, due to lockin/source not available. he story seemed to go on that GPL evolved out of that scenario. Well, this holds good for almost all people. Regards, Manu
