I think your point is well articulated. But I fundamentally disagree that we must reject all SaaSS *at this time*. I think we should instead embrace it, and build a ladder to a future where it may be rejected. And if one accepts this opinion, as I do, one must work hard to ensure that SaaSS doesn't trick anyone. I find my reasoning here has many parallels with rms's reasoning with LGPL, and GNU's reasoning with suggesting lax licences in cases where it is deemed a reasonable sacrifice in order to encourage adoption of free formats etc.
I do *not* think concerns about SaaSS are wrong. Indeed I exclusively use the AGPL, and make sure that all the software I write is replaceable, verifiable, and so forth. But presently there are too many circumstances where I find it unacceptable to outright reject SaaSS; kind of how I ultimately reject capitalism and currency, but find myself unable to reconcile this view with actually functioning in society at present. - -- Alexander [email protected] https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJWKpcYAAoJENQqWdRUGk8BZyYQALXJ/qpSohD0FcwOYg1a5r43 1Z1xv3MJwOm1jc5uZ58f3qNcI1vBOvW+Dsb5xpmpWSRP8kS3YsS8FvayJ+DCMb4Z wtsiYjB+9y8YUBkd8YSMFC/b6A/UkJ2t/9WednRIW1r0D1KfoAuLQAslNVV7YbtD 0vNlz/bdPkfYiXw5jOLv97iJV5YsWyQJz8iJkiclpEzq1sUYBPAFFFtE7D1+YfwX w9ox2zDoawnb3qr3THjvu48mqGlZKIFFRCx1B3BhvCZiaNhL/iuVRQzgwCjgW4Ol cv5zWN0ZDd83SjU70zj6KLd4KGhGU6wP377ZAzRMpLR3PMJQ2JkRFOQ/Wjxa0BVy n9bEK6obds4Hg/7HuXpOc7fOb3faJwEPwY7VENDG6QLiUpWqCh0zHzJzvNIvtMOT ADWAU1OYl3mLQhcHjbEGqZbJN1WJpghYtJL+H3WaOSi9xdXrWRaH02L8qrzZt11/ zeGPOyLfI7tS+G71wmmePZkrAaxQ8Rpi0KjjwFSfoaiCVOAYXQzmlXeGgyfhQD6u Zcmtv9wJDeFu0f1tzPjW57ZMhs+U6LjSfflboKweArZlPOqQUIh4i1NcBB+hOld4 uz7Mij15XM+f+diAlDN8bLmFNvdE6GO9cq0R9oXdaA284cItGyNF8dWRyI7Ti/QH TkNYQlkf+Ex5OsroMh/q =ws3H -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
