Greetings,

here is an article I wrote on this subject (among other things, it
mentions one of the things that prompted me to write it, that is a
thread on this list):

http://software.newsforge.com/software/06/03/13/1628249.shtml?tid=150

From the article:
> "What is the real issue?  The way the software was developed and
> distributed, or the way it limits or protects my rights?"

You're obviously welcome to forward the link to whoever it may
concern. Especially associations of disabled users. It would be great
to have them and all FOSS supporters speak directly to each other
about these issues.

Shold any initiative come out of such a dialogue, please let me know!

Thanks for your time,

	Marco
