Indeed. IMO the most depressing thing about this entire exchange (with the possible exception of the amount of top-posting) is the offhand way in which movements for free software have been assumed by (many) people on both sides to be a boys club, and a particularly misogynistic one at that. Flame me if you want but I'm not sure I can realistically consider someone born in the 20th century with 18th century sexual politics much of an authority on ethics, whether applied to software or anything else. -- steev http://www.daikaiju.org.uk/~steve/
