At what point do we draw the line between free software being beneficial and being overly ideological? If I buy a printer I'd like a copy of the driver source code so if the company goes bust I can still use my possibly expensive and still working hardware. But if I'm using a web app? Half of the source code is going to be sitting on someone else's machine anyway - making the client side free-software doesn't really change that.
