<< If I'm a contributor to free software, coming for the conference to present something, aren't I allowed to use software of my choice on my machines?
This is the exact question I have. I believe open source and free software brings a lot of benefits to the table. I also think that we should fight things such as "software patents". But when it comes to use of 'proprietary software' we need to be pragmatic. What irritates me is the fanatical behavior seen (Novell protest comes to my mind). A guy even suggested that I am traitor simply because I said I use some of the 'proprietary software'! Freedom to me also includes my ability to choose what is best for me. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
