Indeed, and this is I guess the core of my argument: whether the proprietary software used to interface with Google runs on my computer, or a remote server, doesn't affect my freedom. What would affect my freedom is if we could get Google to release -- as Free Software -- the interface that runs client side. That's not likely to happen I suppose :-) But it at least answers the question of what COULD be done to affect our freedom. -- Jonas Öberg Executive Director FSFE e.V. - keeping the power of technology in your hands.
