I'm afraid *you* don't get to decide why *other people* should or should not (want to) use free software. If you're in it for the philosophy, I'm surprised that your idea of freedom involves excluding people who don't believe the same things that you do. > i'm very much confident that the day community begins dishonouring the > philosophy behind the free (free as in freedom) software movement, it > is going to have natural die. Then it must be dead already, because plenty of people don't give two hoots about the philosophy behind the "movement". > if someone thinks that promotion of free (free as in freedom) > software requires promoting non-floss [...] companies, i doubt > his/her credentiality.
