   If you like UNIX, why can't you install it on your laptop and bring it
with you? This way it will be on your own machine and your employer will
have no say whatsoever.

   I'm not trying to sell my work, so I don't care whether I am in the
majority or not. I am working on Lynx in the first place only because I use
it myself, and I believe that the same is true of all people who work on
free software. When there are several conflicting ideologies, the one that
usually gets chosen is the one preferred by the most active contributor. I
certainly don't claim to be one, but I can definitely contribute some
useful stuff, so you will have to put up with at least some of my ideology.
