Dear FOSSouls,
As we all know, popularity of any open source product over its non-free counterpart is a big achievement for us. There has been an unending trend of such products being acquired by non-free software companies. First we try open source, then we advocate for them and after sometime we discourage their use because some non-free software company like Oracle has now converted the very nature of that product from open source/ open standard to proprietary. We saw MySQL, Skype and now the next target can be VLC or even firefox. Are we here to first love and then hate? Should I tell this to my VLC installation that my love for it is till the point of its existence as FOSS? -- Mohit Singh ------------------ _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
