>From a e-mail which I have received in private, I must suppose that someone has taken my remark as a personal attack. I am sorry and apologize; that was not my aim. I try to repeat: the persons who care about feedom more than about money can take this as an occasion to lean the submission rules (and the like) BEFORE writing the thing, and then let the editor know if/when/where/why/how the submission rules are unacceptable. Then chose an editor whose submission rules are acceptable. The other persons (who have all rights to exist) can behave differently, since this world is fortunately still sufficiently free at least in this respect. -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
