>Id yet I've no doubt you'd be happy to call somebody who knowingly sold you a car you could not service "evil" (or something to that effect).
Actually, I'd not buy such a car in the first place. But you're really not resorting to car analogies right?
>Or what about companies that sell you content with DRM, preventing you from even doing legal things with it?
Same thing - I don't buy it for the most part.
However, being anti DRM and being a FOSS zealot are two different things.
You'd be surprised how much "unmodifiable" software indeed ends up modifiable when enough people get interested.
In any case, I take great offense at the notion that I am somehow a bad person for not letting everybody in the world use my product for free, hence the notion at the end of my previous post. Which still stands, downvotes be damned.
