Surely the main thing is that we preserve our freedom to understand and share the software we use to do our computation. Using software running on other people's servers to do _our_ computation also tramples our freedom, and this is becoming more common with RIA technology.

We will find other ways to use our computers, and preserve our freedom." - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7487060.stm Cheers, Dave Personal opinion only. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
