No free speech in Sweden?  Who cares whether author "prohibits"
testing.  The tester buys the program on open market and tests
it and publishes results. Period. Does Consumer Reports say we
couldn't test a product because manufacturer wouldn't let us?
Sure, could be problems in the methodology of the tests resulting
in bias towards a program, opening SSDF to potential law suit,
but does anyone think that is even a remote possibility?
