When we are successful forking Mageia as a community, we will have
removed the manipulative, hidden agendas of SUSE, Red Hat and Ubuntu. We
will have the best opportunity to fulfill the original dream behind what
is now Linux. As is so often the case in human history, the tools we
already have in our toolbox are just waiting to be made use of. The
present world has become so cynical that it cannot conceive of something
'free' having any value. That is one of the unintended results of
aggressive marketing. Yet in the end real value, as opposed to monetary
value will stand the test of time. Linux, is still 'a kid'. Lets show
this 'kid' the mature patient nurturing it needs to reach even some of
its astonishing potential. At all costs, let us all endeavour NOT to
repeat recent history still again.
My best to all ...

So eloquently done and said. Many thanks for these words of wisdom. We
are/were in need of this.
