Jesse Keating <jkeating@xxxxxxxxxx>: > Market share means nothing if we sacrifice our core values for a few more > percentage points. This is so out of contact with reality that it makes me grind my teeth. Want to fix or scrap the damned patent system? Want to get the damned DMCA repealed? Do you want even as little a thing as 3D graphics and wireless cards with open specs? To get these things, we certainly need market share over 30% and probably need market share over 50%. We need politicians and vendors to fear our wrath. It wasn't 'sacrificing our core values' to ship a binary Netscape blob until Mozilla was ready. It won't be sacrificing our core values to ship proprietary codecs until we are positioned to crush them out of existence. The Ubuntu crowd gets this. The Fedora crowd doesn't. That difference is nowhere near the only reason I'm gone, but it's a big one. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S. Raymond</a>
