   did it look like I or FS supported despotism?!? I'm still confused by your response to my claim that OSS supports enlightened despotism. are you familiar with the concept of enlightened despotism?
   cynically, it's the notion that a tyrant may give their subjects some occasional crumbs when it is beneficial to the tyrant. that cynical notion is essentially what OSS stands for, as it drops FS's core principle that subjugating users is wrong

     @lxo Now that I read more into your response that does make sense. "…and to relinquish that control when it's beneficial themselves." Yeah, that's certainly what the OSI supporters often do. Sorry for misunderstanding.

     Ah. You were talking about OSS. And I thought you support enlightened despotism.
