Frank, I agree with you (!) mostly, but I have to ask for specific examples of these organizations that were damaged by the puritans. Did they have to lay people off because some Stallman wanna-be criticized them on a blog? Did any IPOs fall flat? Is there a dollar figure for the damage caused by open source jihadists?

Sean,

I meant damage in the sense that it made some question there interest
in being involved in open source, and has contributed to some schisms in
the open source geospatial community.  (projects, companies and people not
getting along well, etc).

I'm not really all that concerned about IPO's, etc.

Incidentally, I'm not talking about our schism. :-)

Best regards,
