Kristin, to me this sounds rather disingenuous.  It is akin to Bill
Gates saying, "Why those GNU and Linux people want to start an
operating system format war, and give users a choice of operating
systems, I really don't understand."

In case I need to spell it out, the answer is simple: in each case,
one is free (as in freedom: GNU/Linux or piecepack pyramids); the
other is not (Microsoft Windows or Icehouse).
