   So you don't have a source to back up your claim and are just
   blowing smoke.  Thanks for clearing that up.

Just because it is not in a dictionary does not mean that the word
does not have a proper definition.  There are several words which are
not in the dictionary which are commonly used, and as it happens
computer jargon like terms like `freeware' are not defined in
dictionaries, they are defined by the community, and as it happens the
definition of freeware has always been `no charge non-free software'.

But you knew, that and instead choose to waste both mine and your
time.  Can you please do some hacking instead?
