You've just demonstrated a fundamental lack of understanding on what
free software is about. The whole point is that we (subscribers to this
list?) who believe in free software do so because we believe that we
should have the right to control our computer, rather than relying on
the whim of a company which produces a particular product.

So, free software as a doctrine is based on a "well what if...?" scenario.

This has been pointed out already elsewhere on the thread, so I get the
feeling I might be feeding the troll with this (rare) post, but still.
