  I pretty much agree with this article.

  I also find the comment 'Henning doesn't get it' to be fascinating.

  i.e. Having more choices robs us of our freedom.

  This is GPL bigotry at its worst.  If the individual really feels
that way, then he should stop buying ALL commercial products, and live
in perfect freedom: naked and starving in the woods.
