community (Novell with their patent trap and Canonical with their
non-free launchpad) I decide not to play with them (I hope there are
others in the community who share the same view).
I am just looking at a huge advertisement in the newspaper - Compaq
recommends Microsoft Windows Vista - so do you refuse to play with HP
for doing things like this? You think we should refuse sponsorships
from HP, Sun, IBM ... all of whom also make/use closed source software?
