True. But has it been true from the perspective of a regular consumer outside of one of those large institutions? That's the perspective I was talking about before, and to me, personally, it seems to have shifted from around those time periods onward.

Do you mean that the software consumers not part of an institution has access to has been software sold as a product to them? I guess that's probably true, if you ignore the work of the free software community. What significance do you see in that though?

Wait, never mind, I've totally misunderstood what you were talking about.
