Interesting point of view. I don't agree. I always considered the ability to make changes to the software to make it do what *I* want it to (rather than succumbing to what the original developer thinks I want it to do) as one of the hallmarks of opensource software. If you want to use software as-is, that can be beneficial too: http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/03/13/2052226/why-freeloaders-are-essential-to-foss-project-success V2 of the patch (unified, per request, even though there is no real standard for diff/patch) attached, if anyone cares.
