you could have left out the last half of your paragraph and gotten a much better discussion.

Many people really don't know what Freedom actually means. The rights and origin of Freedom with computing should be understood. Is it a natural common law extension of property, for example?

But that last half was just highlighting that you are not after a discussion or answers to your questions, and that it was just rehashing the same old points.

I realized that later after my comment went into negative point territory, but couldn't edit it. I apologize for attacking the character of RMS because I don't know him. What I am reacting against is being told I am wrong for running proprietary software, no matter who says it.
