this whole post is way way OT - what has free software development to
do with morals? In fact, in the FOSS world it is considered irrelevant
who you are, what your name is, where you live, whether you beat your
wife - the only relevant factor is the quality and quantity of your
commits.
You too, are missing the point kg. Unfortunately, there are far too many
people who associate themselves with foss for dogmatic/moral/political
reasons, and seem to miss the whole point, which is having fun sharing
your work/knowledge (at least in my view).
I'm really saddened when people paint "proprietary" to be the enemy when
it's putting the food on so many tables here. Some people want to be
paid for their work, let it be so. Foss and proprietary software both
have their places. Neither of them are going anywhere. I just hope
people get on with their lives and stop seeing things in free vs.
proprietary holy war mindset. With all due respect to everyone
concerned, grow up, guys.
Vamsee.
