Everyone would be free to do what they wanted and there would be all sorts of variations on software products and everything would be so beautiful. But once Open Source products get out there, they rather quickly have to re-invent the whole heierarchy and rigid control that quashes individual variants. Irony runs rampant! :-) MDC Stephen Leake wrote: > > This is a typical problem with open source/bazarre development > projects.
