And that let me think about one translation I would suggest on my side: "ph?n m?m c?m t? do" (software forbidding freedom) Because that's exactly what we get at the end by using them: they make people "simply" and surely loose freedom! > The main thing to understand in proprietary is that the software as a > "proprietor" some one who own the right whatever they want with the software. > This is the meaning you want to convey. > Mhhh... I disagree on this one. Free software also has proprietor: the one owning the copyright on it. And he has the right to do anything he wants with the software, e.g. changing the license at some point in time, but every old released versions would still stay Free forever. That's what protects our freedom: if the original author change its mind about his software licensing, still other people can develop the software continuing from the last Free release. -- Jean Christophe "????"
