| Cyanogen Inc. is now a for-profit company with its own agenda, and I'm
| leery of their claims that "it's all good and we're keeping everything
| open source" - especially now that they're getting funding from
| Microsoft.  I'm sure that RMS has consigned them to the bin for this
| move - I'm a bit more open-minded than that, but seriously skeptical
| about the turn of events.
