I disagree with this on a very general basis. It seems to me the whole point about OpenSource is freedom (we're advertizing Fly Free! as well). Freedom inevitably means giving choices to the user/redeveloper/.... and not making that choice for him. I would agree that it is my task to figure out what the customer wants and provide that to him in a commercial environment, but this is not what we are. There is an (admittedly small) fraction of users who enjoy that freedom they can never get with a commercial product - does it make any sense to focus on the others and try to emulate commercial? * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
