FWIW, I've been thinking, on and off, that I need to figure out some reasonable way to explain that such references are a reflection of my own ethics and value system and that I believe just as strongly that attempting to force them on other users (the servantware masters deserve what they'd get, after all, they're disrespecting my rights at least as much as they expect me not to disrespect their rights to assert control over stuff they wrote... obviously something they don't have to particularly worry about, since I'd be unlikely to run it anyway given the practical issues of trying to run blackbox software I don't trust the ethics of the creators of) not ready to voluntarily choose them would as equally strongly betray those same values. It's gotta be a personal choice. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
