This is foundational I say - some of us are willing to give up a little (or a lot) of convenience, for the long term benefits/ freedoms which we anticipate and strive for. Today we have an abundance of libre/free software. When Richard Stallman, and later others, sacrificed their time and their statutory proprietary-ownership possibilities, for the long term vision, they did not have the abundance that has since been created - their sacrifice was MUCH greater than ours today. Yet the spirit of sacrifice/inconvenience for the longer term greater good, lives strongly in some of us. I wholeheartedly support those who live this principle. Rock on!
