And the fact that there's no match for the non-free software should direct our productivity towards creating such matches, not towards political decisions that have no relation to the reality of the moment. I was born in a communist country where everyone was "free" (not free") but restricted by... political statements of many kinds. It was a "democracy" whithout people having any influence on the govt's decisions. In a word, nice facade with rotten backyard. I can't help this situation reminds me those days... marek
