Personally, I'm in favour of commandeering the terms and making
them completely our own. ``Free? Cool! Oh, you mean zero cost, not
GPLed? Sorry. I guess that's still cool.'' ``Open? Sure, here's the
source code! Oh, you meant the door? My bad.''

	[   ] Pessimistic
	[   ] Realistic
	[ 1 ] Naive Idealism!

Cheers,
a (Unix? That's like Linux, right?) j
