Hi Heather, Aymeric & all, Thank you for your answers so far,
As the global, economical crisis seeps deeper into people's lives everywhere. More are questioning their own approaches to living, and many are reconsidering their social values after the break-down of these capitalist, (free) market-led frameworks and the attitudes that once supported them. It has been mentioned on various news channels that East Germans are now flocking to buy Das Kapital by Karl Marx. "A recent survey found 52 percent of eastern Germans believe the free market economy is "unsuitable" and 43 percent said they wanted socialism rather than capitalism, findings confirmed in interviews with dozens of ordinary easterners." http://tinyurl.com/5zlo5c Perhaps East Germany is an easy target for declaring that social change is occuring, but there is something in the air. So, considering the current state of things and the impact of economies collapsing around us, do you think that this climate adds extra weight for more people to use (FLOSS) Free/Libre/Open Source Software and pure:dyne, if so why? marc _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
