No, but book companies do not tell you that you can only read that book
under one light and only one light. Nor do Music makers say that I can not
play my CD on car stereo AND my home stereo and my friends stereo nor loan
it to him (I am not saying do all this at the same time). All of which I do
with my CD's but I can not legally do with my software.

And don't for get what has happened to democracy's like the USA. They have
also been managed
by small, self-interested parties which have fallen prey to the
greedy, power hungry, or paranoid. AKA like software giants and other power
hungry companies like big oil and military firms. I thought we were talking
about Kubuntu?

Have you ever noticed that MS Windows has very few web browsers to pick
from? While Linux has LOTS? I wonder why? How about Gui's to pick from? KDE
or . . . . Why don't you have all these on a Windows box? Is someone
stopping this from happening on MS systems? Why? Surly there is profit to be
made with a better windows GUI?
