I'd like to take a moment to point out the irony here.  You tell us we
deserve control over our computing, then tell us we cannot choose how to
do our computing.  You tell us our computing must be in our control,
then tell us to cede that control to sourceware.

This is the problem with the SaaSS argument.  You can draw the line
wherever you like, to make whatever argument you like, but in the end
you don't really want the user to be free to do what they want.

So can we please stop using this argument as a hammer?  The LF people
can be just as much "on our team" as the Sourceware people, and when
things to bad, either can be just as much out of our control.
