I'm all about free and open. So much so that my neighbor, an ex-MS'er cringes everytime I mention it. But ya gotta admit, there is a lot of FUD here. "Oh my, what's going to happen tomorrow???". But on the otherhand, what makes me mad is that the content of the file is mine, and could be copywritten and maybe even patented by me... And I could be denied access to that data... it just does not seem right.
