No one goes to court to "enforce" freedoms, it is the job of the courts, and ultimately, the U.S. Supreme court, to determine whether or not a right delineated in the constitution has been violated. I don't consider Supreme court rulings to be theoretical. OTOH, people exercise their constitutional rights such as freedom of religion, and the right to bear arms, each and every day, there is nothing theoretical about that either, so sorry, I don't understand your point. I'll just say again that I think to equate open source with the freedoms granted by the constitution is hyperbolic, silly, and tends to somewhat trivialize the true definition of freedom. -- Regards Bob Young -- [email protected] mailing list
