Exactly.  And we need to keep that in mind, to curb this new and 
uncalled-for enthusiasm that the O.S. should be free and open, 
which of course they're not.

Thanks for disclosing this.  The term "DRM" doesn't mix well with 
"open", though.  The OGC should change its name.

Isn't it funny how I come out as a heretic wine-drinking catholic 
in the puritan OpenStreetMap crowd, and at the same time as a 
harsh inquisitor here among the Geowanking atheists?  It's the 
same in operating systems: We Linux users have to fight OpenBSD 
puritans (and FreeBSD methodists) on one side, and MS Windows 
atheists on the other.
