Of course, like all tradeoffs, some are trivial because the
downside is negligible. Still, which part of what I wrote do
you dispute?
I'm not disputing anything (at least, i don't think so), besides
the assertion that i'm disputing anything. :-D
My writing that is me scratching my chin, trying a value in a
variable position to see how the expression evaluates.
I suppose i was trying to find X that does / does not fulfill
the zero-sum vibe of what you wrote, expressing my thoughts in a
concise, stylized way.
Still, if a dispute aimed at a particular part must be conjured,
i suppose the word "inevitably" would be the obvious candidate.
My understanding of "freedom from having others do X" hinges on
"having others do X" to mean "delegation of X to others". So,
when X is "writing/sharing free software", we get:
If you add "freedom to w/s free software" you inevitably remove
the "freedom from delegating w/s of free software to others".
This, to my ear, doesn't hold fully. I can imagine myself a
hacker honcho w/ flunkies who i assign to do exactly what i am
trying to do (write/share free software), perhaps even the same
algorithm, for purposes of downstream analysis, deconstruction
and re-synthesis to form the "best" implementation. There is no
no inevitability of removal in this scenario (that i can see).
Anyway, these are new thoughts, so thanks for provoking them!
(My original ponderings were not so profound.) This dispute is
a quite a stretch, anyway (i'm out of practice) -- what am i
missing?
