Software, resources, bandwidth, whatever? Yes. Yes, I do. MacSOUP doesn't steal anything.

Two different situations. Anyway, if you _really_ feel this strongly about it then take it up with Stefan. If he won't change it then kindly have the good grace to stop using MacSOUP or to stop complaining about it. At some point you'll just have to accept it and move on.
