Yes, of course you are right. I was being deliberately provocative because I am
tired of explanations using circular reasoning (Things are the way they are
because that's the way things are.) 

The USER rules, not the SOFTWARE. That is the distintion I was trying to make.

I said nothing about CYGNUS, or FSF, or anybody else. Sorry if anyone took it
that way.
