 * Proprietarianism is a belief that very small businesses are generally better in "human" respects than large corporations. It is a philosophy currently under discussion and debate. The intention is to form Proprietarianism into an American political party once it is suitably defined. Such a party would be neither Republican nor Democrat and neither conservative nor liberal.

 * Sometimes I do misstate myself, sir, but this doesn't seem to be one of them, I don't think. I really did deliberately mean to suggest that there is a Peter Pan side to proprietarianism, a "Clap your hands if you believe in Absolute Property Rights!" side to it all.
 * The strongest defense of proprietarianism, as the very adult Eddie Burke memorably saw after he broke with Mr. Locke, is simply placid possession time out of mind.

 * Sorry Gary, but no, Symbian was not Linux. While it's true that eventually the Symbian code was liberated from proprietarianism, it was an operating system and kernel designed only for embedded devices, and at least from a file and disk management standpoint, was modeled more after DOS/Windows than Unix/Linux, with backslash directory separators, drive letters and all. Once liberated, many good things came into Symbian, one of which was either a free of cost or free of proprietarianism screen reeder, can't remember which, but all this stuff came too late in the game, because Android and even IOS were more capable by that time, and Nokia eventually made a backdoor deal with Microsoft to put Windows on their phones. Well, not Windows, but called Windows by Microsoft, considering that it wouldn't even run the same versions of the same applications that run on a Windows computer, and most of this had nothing to do with processor architecture.
