    If they provided the freedoms required to be Free Software, none of us
    would be having any trouble, don't you think?

    But they forbid you the freedom to run the software for any purpose
    (MACROVISION), they forbid you the freedom to study and modify it to
    your needs (correct 4k stack compatibility problem), they only allow
    pristine redistribution for GNU/Linux (no FreeBSD dudes... you're out of
    luck), and they forbid publishing improved versions.

    So where do you end now?
