We should not encourage it. i think we already discussed this point. open source software running on non-free operating systems can be seen as ambassadors. the reason why i finally switched to linux was that i had to do with open source products since a while, e.g. apache, mysql, python, nsis. at work i have to use windows, and i'm happy to be able to use some stuff there as well, such as inkscape. i wonder if it isn't more shortsighted to "not mingle with the bad people". this is a dialogue, not a war fought through rejection. -- -- leonard "paniq" ritter -- http://www.paniq.org -- http://www.mjoo.org
