This is a very interesting viewpoint of Sakari's; however, I don't share
it with him. If I wrote a program and found out that someone else
wasn't using it because she didn't agree with my political views, that
wouldn't make me wish that I hadn't written the software.
Also, Sakari's use of the word "can't", above, is a tad strong; it's not
that they *can't* use it, it's simply that they choose not to. Their
choice does not alter my or anyone else's ability to use the software.
