Why is WMA free if it requires a license fee to use on non-computer platforms?![edit]

Why are you reverting my edits. WMA is not free. That would be like calling Internet Explorer "free" or .Net "Free" which if you read their license, they are just included with your $200+ purchase of windows. I was trying to fix my formatting errors, but you screwed it up with your unkind revert. If you want to fix my formatting errors, fine, but don't revert the change unless you have sufficient evidence to prove my link false, which BTW is from the Microsoft site. Patent encumbered freeware with restricted "for limited personal use" terms is NOT free. Technically WMA is not even a codec, and could just be deleted from the list. It is a container format.--Robert Wm "Ruedii" (talk) 10:16, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We are going too quickly, I was just writing a message on your talk page, and now we have an edit conflict here on my page because you changed your message while I was typing a reply. Please slow down. I'll incorporate my initial message here. Hello RuediiX. Did you not see my messages on Talk:Comparison of audio coding formats? I agree that the WMA entry needs to be improved, but I don't think this is it. And please respect WP:BRD. I was already discussing the change, please join the discussion rather than pushing your reverted change. First of all, about reversion. If you break something, it is not my job to fix it, it's yours. Breaking a table is a proper reason for reversion. Secondly, as I said on the talk page, I don't agree with the removal of content. I think it is useful information that consumer licensees of Windows can use WMA without paying extra. As I said on the talk page, the name of the column is cost, not freedom. I'd rather see a column freedom myself, I think free software is much more important than monetary cost. But the name of the column is cost, and changing it will require a lot more dilligence than just renaming the column. I gave a suggestion on the talk page for what the new entry should be, and asked for your help. Please join the discussion. Digital Brains (talk) 10:26, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
