	OK.  Well, actually it's a dictionary, Mirriam-Webster to be
precise:

	fascism \......\ n 1: often cap: the body of principles held by
		Fascisti.  2: a political philosophy, movement or regime
		that exalts nation and race and stands for a centralized
		autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader,
		severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible
		suppression of opposition.  - fascist adj. often cap.

	Not actually knowing what body of principles Fascisti held
I will have to assume that point to sums them up in a nut shell.  Hmm,
well software distribution could be a movement.
	"exalts nation and race"
That might refer to you can't get the stuff from anybody else
	"centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader"
and that's the way its going to be until we decide differently.
	"severe economic and forcible suppression of opposition"
and we'll sue your pants off if you don't agree to it.o

	Well, if you actually stretch it just a little, it is a
Fascist Doctrine.

	Maybe if we try real hard we can get Apple on 60 Minutes, just
like Proctor and Gamble was.

(By the way, jimb was arguing the policy isn't Fascist lest anyone
think I'm attempting to misquote him by quoting out of context)
