Now you don't REALLY believe that, do you?
"4. I believe if you are going to call something open or free then that is exactlly what it should be. Open for ANY use, free of ANY encumberances."

So it really does bother you when Microsoft places a big "FREE" label on IE or Media Player or other traditional Windows addons that we ALL know don't meet those qualifications? And you are really disturbed when all sorts of products are advertised as being "FREE" when we all know they are not? My, my! I think I could even give up the term "Free Software" if you could get a law pushed through prohibiting anyone for using the term "FREE" in a deceptive manner. I suspect we could lock up half the businessmen in the country if a law on that one could be enforced. I'm all for it!
