BTW, just for the record, I do not equate closed source with slavery.
Nobody is going to be stoned, crucified, or burned at the stake for
refusing to use some piece of software.  It is a choice of which
software to use, and for almost all cases, there is enough competition
in the industry that nobody should feel enslaved by their choices.

However, I also recognize that Duncan has much stronger opinions on
the subject than I do, so I understand why he uses the terms that he
does.  When he uses the terms, I have no misunderstanding of what he
means, even if I don't agree.  So I consider them perfectly accurate
representations of his opinions.
