I don't know if I like it or not as I was not speaking to the particular issue
at hand but to the general.
Below modded a bit for layour purposes:
"Even if he does not, he has the right to determine:
how his software should be used,
what should be patched,
what should be improved."
Within any developer's copy of their code, I agree with the second two, but
the right to determine how it should be used once in the hands of users? (If
that is what you meant, I don't think I agree with that. If you meant
something else, another clarification would be appreciated.
all the best,
