Hi.
That's the question. Do you consider there to be _any_ situations, _at
all_, where
"proprietary" software/restricting the freedom of the user is a good
thing to do or at
least *not objectionable* on ethical/moral grounds (according to Free
Software
advocates' moral/ethical systems.)?
Specifically, I was thinking of this: http://folding.stanford.edu.

What do you think?
