To me the issue boils down to this: If you were to purchase a four-legged chair, and want to modify it, you can! You could make it a three-legged chair. It is yours to have and hold and do with as you damn-well-please... In the case of software, too often, we see that software limits the physical modification - see Keurig for that matter. I should be able to make a physical thing do what I want. If that means ripping into the lowest level instructions, then I should be able to. I own the physical, why can I not decide what it does?

Okay, I don't get this one.
What FSF have to do with this?

I'm not sure the author even knows what the FSF stands for.
