this actually may help me clear out a subtle distinction: the documentation has the same socialpolitical problem as any other artistic expression encoded into a digital asset but the code has a subtly different socialpolitical problem that

so long as we can read the source code AND debug the program, it's ok. it may be difficult, but sometimes things are difficult free and open source but private and paid for documentation???

my point is that I refuse to adjust my expectations to a technological environment in which we are ok with having to pay per API call to use software. I reject a future in which all software works as a subscription based service; this is ju

this is IBM firing its guns straight at liberty minded software here come the rent seekers: soon enough we will have to pay per character we type. this may seem exaggerated and I really really do hope it stays a gross exaggeration and never
