Thanks to both of you in this thread.  I can't say where I come down on 
this particular debate, but it has certainly provided food for thought, 
giving at least me an opportunity to examine both the general debate and 
my own thoughts on the matter in more depth than normal.

And yes, I think it's important, so much so that my NNTP and mailing-list 
sig is a quote from Richard Stallman:

"Every nonfree program has a lord, a master --
and if you use the program, he is your master."

Again, thanks for the debate, as it has informed my own thoughts on the 
matter, which is after all the purpose thereof, right?  I know it'll take 
a bit to let it sink in and see how it all settles out, in my own 
thoughts.

Duncan
