I can understand people preferring the open source solutions... open source
(home made) yogurt and bread and cheeses are great - and I have made them
all.  I might even advocate that others do so - they are healthier and often
better tasting than the commercial ones.

But I cannot see fighting for the rights of cheese.  I cannot see insisting
that the corporations are trying to prevent me from making my own yogurt
because theirs is so darn good the supplies to make my own might be harder
to find.

That is, in essence, what many in COLA do in terms of desktop Linux.  It is
irrational.
