On this I am afraid we have irreconcilable differences. You (and
David) are over-focused on free software in the abstract sense of
freedom. Fine as a principle but it does not increase the freedom of
computer users on a daily basis. IMHO where freedom counts is not in
the abstract but at the keyboards and mouses and displays of users.
If the goal is to promote freedom for computer users and to change the
world for the better, then attention must be paid to the useability of
free software and removing the obstacles to adoption by the
mainstream. If the goal is to carve out some morally superior stance,
then by all means carry on as you are. As far as I can tell, that's
all the current approach is going to get you.
What is not reconcilable is your opinion on a GNU mail list and you
are free to express that. Uncanny.
