Freedom 0 (from free-sw.html) doesn't give any rights whatsoever. That document is not legally binding. You're apparently reading a different version of freedom 0, one that has been adapted from free-sw.html as a legal instrument. The quoted text above is regarding Freedom 0 as written in free-sw.html, which is pure philosophy, not the text of a license. None of the language in free-sw.html contains any exception as far as what mechanisms may or may not be used to /stop/ someone using software, apart from exception that was mentioned by Brandon, which has no such clause regarding what runs on other machines. > It only gives you the right to use the software that you _already_ > have, on _your_ machine. That is all Freedom 0 says. That is not "all" it says. If we're talking about the Freedom 0 from free-sw.html, it also says that user may use the software *how they want to*. You have the same misunderstanding Brandon does, in thinking that it's merely a right to run the code (the use of which may then be controlled by someone other than the user). -- Please note this was sent anonymously, so the "From:" address will be unusable.
