Re: Dependence on nonfree software

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   Hi Alfred

   Right. Replace "ecosystem" with 'More and more of the software hosted at 
   GNU Savannah'.

   It seems bad enough to me, in cases when the server's latest version is 
   documented by nobody and is proprietary. Then it is only its older revisions
   that were successfully reverse engineered and "documented" by implementing
   a free software client for them.

How is that different from a latest version that is not documented,
and free software?  After all, you don't need to provide the source
code for the free software server program.

I.e., it doesn't matter what the ethical state of the server program
is.
