There it is. The vindication I was after. I knew I wasnt just crazy for doing everything I could to minimize ms in my ecosystem. Personally, I think rms, gnu, and gplv3 are the way to go. We need to protect user freedoms more than developer freedoms.


It's not users vs. developers, it's users vs. vendors. The devs working for MS are just hired guns doing what they're told in exchange for a paycheck; they're not making decisions like this.


To the user the dev and the vendor is indistinguishable. Also, Nuremberg defenses aren't usually the most solid, but I see what you mean.
