Not sure what the problem here is. There are plenty of servers that
run closed-source software. Yes, there are people like rms who believe
that *all* software should be free, but I don't agree. There are
people who wish to keep their code to themselves, and they should be
allowed to do that. I'm just pointing out that they then have to go to
the effort of making the *service* (rather than the software)
available.
