It is about having to prove ones innocence every time you wish to use

permission to use something you "own".

Yeah, as I said I do get what your point is. At least I think I do. You see OSP as being guilty until proven innocent. You object to it on principle strongly enough that even if it works perfectly you'll have no part of it. But you and others keep making that point with analogies that are not analogous (sp?). That's what keeps doing my head in. That's what I commented on - the analogies, not the point behind them.
