Hear, hear!
No aid and comfort for the enemy (the "enemy" being proprietary
software). But you put it more nicely than me. :)
Personally I think there is far too much attention / mind share paid
towards proprietary software. Maybe not on this list, nor within the
GNU Project itself (the last bastion), but in general in F/LOSS (well
especially in more "Open Source"[0] circles). Why give them free
advertising (in addition to the millions $$ some of them have
available to them, and other resources)?
Cheers,
