You say it is a matter of perspective, but then you leave the land of logic for that of political spin. Sure, not swinging fists in crowded rooms is a sensible idea. This implies it is ok elsewhere. Where do you find even the tiniest such sensible opening in a blanket argument against open source wireless stacks?

So I reject you proposed "perspective". All your argument shows is that an in group can get a majority to be so scared of getting their noses hit that they will vote to outlaw ordinary citizens from swinging arms anywhere.

Proposed Perspective?

Woah! Ease up a moment. You're talking to Georg Greve, president of FSFE. I think you'll find he is in favor of free software wireless stacks. He's not articulating that political spin to convince you to oppose his own goals and those of the organization he represents. He's trying to help you understand the perspective of the people who need convincing.
