Thanks for the clarification - it does help.<p>However I still disagree with you on the point of standing against Apple for their &#x27;evils&#x27;.<p>Apple is simply exercising their freedom.  I agree that there may be better ways of doing things, but the failure of free software to produce these alternatives is nothing to do with Apple.<p>If anything, I&#x27;d say that standing &#x27;against&#x27; Apple, works against the cause of producing a free alternative because it focuses people&#x27;s attention on misplaced anger towards Apple, rather than on the constructive effort needed to build what is required.<p>I find it hard to see how someone reconciles a belief in freedom with an agenda that involves standing against Apple.
