I know, sarcasm tag and all, but that is not what Jos was saying. Educating doesn't imply lecturing, laying out reasons for decisions that resulted in a situation can be done in a non confrontational or belitteling way. Not all potential new contributors will be developers of proprietary software who just happen to use our software in some way. Some will be developers specifically interested in contributing to FOSS but they might not have thought about the problem of proprietary services yet.
