I forgot to point out that Free Software is most definitely the traditional

from the traditional method to a black-box distribution method for software.
Our entire history of science and engineering is Open. Understanding the way
things work has been the hallmark of our development as a society. Don't

I wish that lawyers and other such could/would understand that last

supports us. Secrecy, and secrecy in the name of security or safety set us
back towards dark ages.
IMHO of course, YMMV.
