Finally it appears that it is just possible to have as many Linux Distributions as groups of people who think this is the "right" thing for "them". You will agree that your "right" is not my "right". The group's strength here depends on the degree of consensus of what is "right". These are more of ethical principles of what is "right". There can be no law on it.
ILUGD as a group stresses and emphasises the virtues and philosophy behind the F/LOSS movement. It certainly can be hoped that each member understands which product stands up to that principles and which one does not. After that, it is individuals choice and the circumstances which make him take the appropirate decision. Remember FLOSS stresses Freedom of Choice.
