When I was at Red Hat in the early days (1996-2003) I was definitely at
the "pragmatic" end of the spectrum trust me compared to many people so
I am with you on what you are saying.
I also honor the right of a producer to their IP I just would like to
think consumers would clue in against walled gardens and lock in and
through market pressures encourage more open solutions but I don't see
that happening unfortunately. Given the transition over the last 20
years of "opt-in" being required as a general principle to "opt-out"
being the norm I don't have much hope for this.
I do sometimes miss the simpler days of software when most people had
never used a computer. :)
Anyways I'm sure I'm way off the charter of this group - just saying the
Beagle-V looks cool really!

I am a pragmatic. It's what I can do today with the available possibilities. I
fully support your ideals though. They just do not help me today.
If that is what you mean by "force" I guess we agree `,~)
I am an Application Engineer for a reason, I live for field work aka end use.
It's my life force. We all have a purpose in life. This is mine. My views
reflect it.
When Technology progresses enough to allow for hackers to write better code
than the producers of the technology, your dream will come true. That is
exactly what happened with Linux. Until then Producers have a right to
Intellectual property. Plus, I still own some Intel stock, although I sold a
bunch yesterday. `,~)
