What you write about is a _practical_ advantage of OpenSource/Free
software. I don't argue that there are practical advantages, I really
enjoy them.
What I'm rallying against is the FSF's view that it's not the practical
advantages but the philosophical ones that matter - and that is simple
bullshit.
Best regards,
Boris
