Software patents and restricted copy and use rights deprive users of freedom. Users may not be aware of this lost freedom, but that doesn't mean it's valueless. if we loose track of the ball and even start to believe that freedom is a moral issue. You think freedom is not a moral issue? Sorry, but freedom is the epitome of a moral issue. Rights, responsibilities, privileges, power, choice, liberty, coercion and contract are all important issues in the world of software and the Internet as they are in the physical world. We're developing new things pretty rapidly and it is important for future generations that we get the governance model right; we don't want to end up with the Internet equivalent of a theocracy or feudal system. Certainly if you try to argue with the PM linux for every kid because Windoze is immoral you are going to find your self ignored. umm who says you have to tell them that, just because it's a moral issue doesn't mean you have to argue it as a moral issue, that is a process of discovery, first let them discover what linux (or other FOSS stuff) can do for them, emphasising the fun and usefulness of it, then as time goes by the freedom, chances are they'll catch on to the philosophical issues by themselves or not depending on their temperament shheees some people have no Idea how to put across there point ;) :P If that was a once-only argument you may be right, but it takes time to raise awareness and a lot of effort to explain why putting yourself, say, at the mercy of Microsoft's or some other company's EULA is ultimately harmful. While this thread drifts OT the basic issue is tremendously important for us as a group. So ... back to the important questions of whether Android or IOS runs more apps? Nick. -- .~.
