    Enchantments function regardless of their tapped state. The only tapped enchantment I can think of (and this is old) is a Lucid, which is a creature that taps to turn itself into a local enchantment (which now seems to be called an Aura in 9th).

    Nothing stops free software from having draconian EULA's

    I beg to differ. If the EULA is draconian, it isn't really free software is it? Cruel, severe (that's webster.com speaking) things don't tend to respect your freedom (hence free software). Other than that, this post is wasted: I agree.

  25. Re:This scheme has no advantages. on Bundled Applications for GNU/Linux? · · Score: 1

    OR you could use something like graft or stow, which puts everything in its own directory, then symlinks it to where things expect it to be. That eliminates at least half of the problems you list. As far as I know, though, there's nothing one can do about the variable filesystem problem, and where to put conf files is beyond me. Perhaps they should be stored in /etc and symlinked in the package dir instead of the other way 'round.

    That's my 2 cents anyway.
