hi,

I agree with you Simon - FM is for FLOSS and if we cross into services
then these should be free services (but what exactly is the equivalent
of 'libre' when it comes to services is a tricky issue in itself).

Mr Snow, the material you have written looks fantastic. However I think
we need to leave the iTunes material out of the FM repository. I
understand you are writing these under commission for Tactical
Technology Collective - how adamant are they that iTunes store is
documented? I am sure we can find another ('libre') solution...
