I'm not sure this is what you actually mean, but I'm concerned those statements seem to claim it is acceptable for a program to be proprietary if it does not comply with accessibility requirements. That is like saying it is OK to abolish the "freedom of movement" right in democratic states that do not provide adequate means of travel for the disabled, and it is useless for people who don't have the money to pay for the ticket. I'm sure you would agree with me that those are completely different issues. -- Dora Scilipoti GNU Education Team www.gnu.org/education
