I try to repeat: the persons who care about feedom more than about money
can take this as an occasion to lean the submission rules (and the like)
BEFORE writing the thing, and then let the editor know
if/when/where/why/how the submission rules are unacceptable. Then chose
an editor whose submission rules are acceptable.
The other persons (who have all rights to exist) can behave differently,
since this world is fortunately still sufficiently free at least in this
respect.
