I pay for a 6mbit line every month, and I expect to be able to use it the way I see fit. ... We're paying the same amount, shouldn't we get the same service, no matter WHAT we're transferring?

That sounds like something a spammer might say.

Why?
Actors feel free to express their ideas on politics, some corporations do not hesitate to sponsor or take position for a given cause.
Why should FREEsoftware refrain from doing so?
It's even distributed under GPL v2 which means they are not even forbidding those with whom they disagree to use it.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but doesn't open source software share some of the same essence as Communism? Everyone working together towards a common goal overseen by a dictator (or Benevolent Dictator for Life in the case of OSS).

Seems to me that China is shooting its own values in the foot.

We're really all tired of the plumber's crack.

Try something new. This is for fanboys and little kids.
