Yes, but that does not make Richard's technical points less valid,
I think.  Though, Richard, I do think it is somewhat immoral. It is
somewhat immoral not to let widely used and Free software into our
universe just because we don't have the technical apparatus to
control the damage it would bring with it. We should all work together
to acquire that apparatus instead.
