Most people here haven't sworn a vow against proprietary software, and can use

it if they feel like purchasing it, Mr. Stallman ;). Actually, that peice of
software looked like it did stuff that free software isn't doing yet. That
doesn't mean it's evil, it's just a new project for somebody to hack together
