>It's really not that hard to get along here if you agree that non-free
software is unethical.
Being social is more than just 'getting along' though. I realize this may be
irrelevant to many people, as for most software is just a service that they
purchase and they may see free software the same way; however for me
personally this is a factor. (I got the impression you were collecting
information about people's motivation).
>If you would otherwise have paid for a computer with Microsoft Windows or
Apple OS X or some other non-free program you really should feel an
obligation to contribute something. Which it sounds like already are.
Yes. I observed previously, that "I don't mind paying for my beer". If I stay
with the project I'll contribute. I already contribute many hours of work
time to another distribution.
