@MrDOS @dalias my take is that the user should be free to do whatever the hell they want with their computer and their software, as long as that thing is done with consent and does not harm anyone else, up to and including many things that you would personally find objectionable. it's the same position I take in practically all other walks of life. being beholden to the prescriptivist dogmas of others is not, and will never be, freedom.
