- thanks for the pointer, but speakfreely is only for Satan's software

If you need source code for all of your software before you think
you can safely run it, then get linux.


- ???? that was the point, and yes, having the source code for all
my software *is* important... i will not be held hostage by
orphaned versions, forced upgrades, hobbled 'crippleware'
or other such nonsense... i want to know what's going on...

- and yes, even though i don't use the monopoly's software i can still
'safely' run it inside a VMware session...

- perhaps wine emulation would work?
