Just finished entertaining out of town guests so I'll be adding my $0.02 tomorrow. Linux is not just a technology. Linux (the kernel) and many other pieces of software that you all use and love every day are licensed under licenses that protect the rights and intentions of the contributors and the users. The Open Source community, and the projects therein, are therefore social movements as much as they are technological advances and revolutions in development methodologies and project management. The Open Source world is especially relevant in the context of market models. People who don't think a Linux User Group is an appropriate forum for discourse regarding such issues are, in my humble opinion, flat out missing the point. That said, when I see posts and threads I'm not interested in I delete them without complaint. I kindly suggest you do the same in the spirit of treating threads I care about with the same respect that I treat some of the threads you care about. Kind regards. -Rob On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 10:55 PM, Chuck Cole <cncole at earthlink.net> wrote: > Ditto > > -----Original Message----- > *From:* tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto: > tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org]*On Behalf Of *John Trammell > *Sent:* Monday, August 23, 2010 10:03 PM > *To:* TCLUG Mailing List > *Subject:* Re: [tclug-list] OT: I'm thinking of.... > > On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 10:35 AM, Daniel Taylor <random at argle.org> wrote: > >> This is a totally bizarre place for this discussion, but I'm game to >> continue as long as it's civil and nobody objects. >> > > I object.
