The software *does* work, just not in the way you want it to work. That's a philosophical stance, not a technical limitation or flaw. Software solutions that do not meet philosophical requirements are not by extension technically flawed, only (at best) philosophically so. No, it is a technological flow because excluding Free Software users you lose interoperability, another W3C's principle that contradicts with EME. > > > > > > You will have succeeded in neutering the W3C. > > > > We agree that this would have an impact on W3C's future, but we read > > this very differently > > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public- > > restrictedmedia/2013Jun/0293.html > > In that posting, you wrote: > > "It's safe to say that there is a consensus among those who object to > EME, that we believe it contradicts with Open Web principles and > therefore W3C's mission.
