The US (supposedly) has "Free Speech" and a "Free Press."  This does not
mean that you are allowed to indiscriminately copy newspapers, or plays, or
whatnot.

The "Free" in "the Free Software Foundataion" stands for "Liberated," not
"Freely-redistrubatable."  Everyone involved with the FSF has been saying
that for quite a while now (at least two years, probably more).

Did you complain to the protestors when they had buttons and posters that
said, "Free Nelson Mandella"?  (After all, I'm sure you'd've had to pay
quite a bit of money to get one 8-).)
