When did you ever actually believe users controlled software again?

Before the internet became de rigueur, more or less. So much of this kind of top-down-control culture has oozed into the PC world by showing up on phones -- those always-on, internet-connected devices -- first.

Don't really know what they're talking about. Software has existed as an industry longer than it was a community. And the industry pushed back hard on the idea of software freedom in the early days.

Precisely why I am questioning wuffah. I want know when, if ever, e experienced such a thing. Because from my recollection, software was always under the control of the seller.
