Ok, so now you are saying that Duncan's opinion is wrong. You don't
respect Duncan's opinion, but you expect us to respect yours? I call
hypocrite.
BTW, just for the record, I do not equate closed source with slavery.
Nobody is going to be stoned, crucified, or burned at the stake for
refusing to use some piece of software. It is a choice of which
software to use, and for almost all cases, there is enough competition
in the industry that nobody should feel enslaved by their choices.
However, I also recognize that Duncan has much stronger opinions on
the subject than I do, so I understand why he uses the terms that he
does. When he uses the terms, I have no misunderstanding of what he
means, even if I don't agree. So I consider them perfectly accurate
representations of his opinions.
