Aw, come on!  Peter charges $0.00 for the games tape.  At that
price it's his prerogative not to distribute and not to support
anything he doesn't want to.  I bet you write letters to your town
council complaining that the local 4th of July fireworks display
isn't as good as it was when you were a boy, and demanding that
they shape up or ship out.

I think it's bad practice to complain about the speed at which
free software is distributed, or about the quality of said free
software (which, btw, is much better than most of the junk people
pay big bucks for.)
