Our family doctor used to say that "after 40, if you wake up in the morning and nothing hurts, you must have died during the night."
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Nurse: But, Doctor, he's still bleeding heavily !
Doctor1: Doesn't matter, he's got the latest Stent 3.884 feature enabled: ship him back to work.
Nurse: But, Doctor, he can't walk right !
Doctor2: What do you expect ? He's using an older version of DogLegs: that's open-source; the RC deadline requires we punt on upgrading that ... ship him back to work.

Oh, feel free 
fyi: in 1993 I wrote a huge prototype Excel 5.0/VBA solution for BHP (Australia) to model the financing of construction and operation periods of power plants where there were multiple types of lenders (international, national). It ran on Mac, and PC. While I was paid (very well) for several months, and the result met the requirements, the person who hired me, and "pushed" this project got terminated for various reasons ... and the code, afaik, gathers dust somewhere.

Sounds like a failure at a an entirely different level.
Now you could repackage it for wind power, and the results would probably blow you away.

Another good analogy might be the age old doctor/patient gag:
Doc: Er, hello, Mr. Smith. I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.
Mr. Smith: Oh 'eck! I suppose I'd better have the bad news first - get it out of the way.
Doc: Well, it's about your leg ... I'm afraid I er, well I, er, I'm afraid I removed the wrong one ...
Mr. Smith: Christ on a bike! You said there was some good news, too ...
Doc: Oh yes! Absolutely! You know your other leg? It's better now.
