What Roanie just said is that the act should be technologically neutral. In particular, people have started thinking that flexible is synonymous with free and have skipped stages. From the moment they do that, we're no longer heading in the right direction. Flexibility does not mean that something is free of charge. We should aim for flexibility only in terms of flexibility not in the sense of something being free.
