*2. * /Mathematics/
*a. * Of or relating to a matrix whose transpose equals its inverse.
*b. * Of or relating to a linear transformation that preserves the
length of vectors.
*3. * Very different or unrelated; sharply divergent: "Radical Islamists

I just wanted to make sure I understood you. Most rational players
would disagree with your position. these are plainly directly related
to the Free Software Movements Four Freedoms.
How could you conclude otherwise? Please explain yourself.
Environmentalism has no relationship to Free Software. DRM is the
practice of using software and/or hardware to prevent free movemnt of
ideas and speach in digital networks. That is exactly the Free Software
and GNU mission.
