I don't know if I like it or not as I was not speaking to the particular issue

at hand but to the general. 
Below modded a bit for layour purposes:
"Even if he does not, he has the right to determine:
how his software should be used, 
what should be patched,
what should be improved."
Within any developer's copy of their code, I agree with the second two, but
