I don't know if I like it or not as I was not speaking to the particular issue
at hand but to the general.
Below modded a bit for layour purposes:
"Even if he does not, he has the right to determine:
how his software should be used,
what should be patched,
what should be improved."
Within any developer's copy of their code, I agree with the second two, but
the right to determine how it should be used once in the hands of users? (If
that is what you meant, I don't think I agree with that. If you meant
something else, another clarification would be appreciated.
all the best,

You don't like it, then take it your way.
We're lucky our devs are friendly. Well, most of them. Even if he does not, he has the
right to determine how his software should be used, what should be
patched,
what should be improved.
Ah... What?!!! The right? (As in it some how has some bearing on us and
our rights as users of that same software and our rights to determine
such things
for ourselves?) Please explain your thinking here. I can see such
thinking from the non-Free world, but not sure how what I see being said
fits in the Free world. (So perhaps I am seeing something that was not
said...??
