No, your fundementally wrong but you exploit the benifits that others
have laid out for you.
It is the viceral attack that you have which is so disturbing.
There will be no Free Software in the future on the track we are
currently on. Tools and data are increasingly locked down.
Should we start going over it in detail in order to demonstrate the
enormously negtive affect that Apple and google have levied by
exploiting and doing an end run around of the guarantees is that the
GPL guarantees?
It is OBVIOUS to any individual that rights that you want for yourself
and which you are not willing to guarantee to others are not rights at
all. Freedom, in this case in speach and code, along with the privacies
that it underpins, is something you GIVE, not take.
