Okay cool, that's more like it. I'll discard 2 because like I said I'm not a fan of that perspective.
With regards to the deontological perspective, the point is exactly that you may have your intended purpose in creating the tool, but the user has their own. You have your ends and the user has his. It might be as trivial as the three year old doesn't like the color of the numbers. Of course a three year old isn't going to be able to do much with the source code, but neither are most people. The toddler would rely on his caretakers like the rest of us rely on our community. I don't see anything that specifically tries to rebut my virtue ethics position. I object to your premise that not providing source code necessarily restricts users. And if the premise is faulty then anything based upon it needs to find a new premise to base itself on. I made no mention of source code in any of my original positions.
