Richard, at some point, you should realise you have won.  The idea of
Free software has radically altered not only the technical landscape,
but the cultural one too.  Global non-profit collaborative projects
such as SourceForge and Wikipedia owe their existence and success to
the ideas of freedom and sharing of intellectual endeavour promoted by
you and the FSF.  People didn't take it seriously for years, but now
everyone does.  Sure, there are more battles to be fought, but you've
won.  So why do you keep acting like a loser?
