For the record, the first link is not mine. > Yet another instance of Stallman's lack of consistency. I find him very consistent as long as we stay in the software ballpark; as soon as we leave it, especially if we venture into other copyrighted works territory, there are things that indeed seem inconsistent. Can't really blame him, I guess; no single person is able to grasp all the intricacies involved. And I'm sure that it would be possible to convince him, after a long and extensive enough discussion. Or maybe he would convince me, who's to say who's right here? > What I found slightly interesting, and correct me if I'm wrong, > is that one of Stallman's basic arguments for free software is > that individuals have the right to use their hardware however > they wish, but running propietary software means that somebody > else is controlling or 'owning' their hardware. I would say: that individuals should have the right to use their *tools* however they like, including fixing them, modifying them and helping their neighbours by lending them. > That is a rather libertarian/propertarian argument. Well, as far as I read it, it's not about *ownership*, but rather *control*. But I guess to some extent you can't have one without the other. -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147
