Actually, the rest of your mail seems to acknowledge and endorse that
FOSS has a inherent political position.
Oops, you're right - guess I meant to say I can't make a statement about
what exactly Miguel's motivations are, as we can only speculate about
them - but I am willing to consider it folly rather than malice, as he
and Nat seemed to be genuinely excited about what they're building.
Perhaps they didn't have enough faith that the open source movement is
capable of innovating and driving standards against something as
powerful as Microsoft. That's probably the only explanation I can give
for it. Again, it's just speculation.
As for the rest of the mail, I've always considered FOSS more of a
personal opinion/values issue rather than overtly political, but when
we're advocating it, I guess it becomes political indeed :)
Vamsee.
