I presume you wanted to say !open above. It's a common case used in 'evil' rhetorics, when you establish that A is good (A = open in our case), and that B is not A (B = proprietary), and reason that this means B is bad. While it might sound correct, it's logically flawed (the good things in Open don't influence whether Proprietary is good or bad, it's good or bad based on it's own merits/flaws, not A's). _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
