I think this has drifted a long way from the point of the thread. The
original point was about what constituted success in promoting something

unhelpful. I believe sticking to the point is important.
You keep dealing with the symptoms, try to find the cause...
I stand by my original assertion that any unmeasurable advocacy is less
useful than measurable advocacy. Whether the advocacy is geared towards
profit or not is a mute point. That has nothing whatsoever to do with
Free Software as a concept. Free Software is about Freedom for the user

Free Software is not about freedom, its about constraints... there's no
freedom without constraints.
