Good question. I felt "cathedral vs. bazaar" was a bit rhetorical and inflated. I see MS as example of capitalism, while Linux is more petit bourgeois. Their difference is not my concern. > 15. Open Source or Free Software? Not either or. Not being a developer, I can only support open source at a distance as a good idea. Free software does affect me because I'm low income. The two seem interdependent. > Personal Information: > a) Age: 71 > b) Gender: M > c) Occupation: retire teacher > d) Your current geographic location: Connecticut, US > > Any other comments? > > > Would you like me to e-mail you the results?
