Those of us who value free software for freedom's sake will stay with free software anyway. We will manage to get work done without the patented features. But those who value free software because they expect it to be technically superior are likely to call it a failure when a patent holds it back. Thus, while it is useful to talk about the practical effectiveness of the &ldquo;bazaar&rdquo; model of development, and the reliability and power of some free software, we must not stop there. We must talk about freedom and principle.
