One last question.. simple: how is this a useful venture of "engineering" effort? more involved remarks: The people who'll use an application such as this, with these restrictions, won't be installing said non-free software any way... and trying to provide other folks (i.e. the general public, who wouldn't otherwise know better...in that they'll use whatever application they're given) with this type of software is simply upsetting and frustrating for them (what?! no youtube??), resulting in them not wanting to use "open source stuff" (because they don't know the basic difference in what you've provided versus what opensource, or free software, or whatever we're trying to provide the world, is about, etc).. and *avoiding* applications *they* label as such. Why does that matter? well.. it would seem to me, that it should matter to you because this would effectively work against the software world you are trying to create. Regards, ~Jason
