Yep.. and there we see the entrance to one of many rabbit holes here and
something that I consider one of the failures of FOSS and the "open"
movement...
So does FSF I believe....
Hmm. So, I think this (long standing) attitude of the infallible
(FSF|GNU|EFF|etc) is getting very dangerous.
History will absolve me :))
I don't think we're in position to judge if FOSS developers are "in
the wrong job" based on ethics disagreements.
I was more meaning to say that surely if one's goal is purely to make
money, spending the majority of your programming skills/time on FOSS
projects is probably not the best choice.
Not that I don't think this debate should be had, nor do I want to avoid
public discussion at all, but we should probably take this elsewhere..
So.. I still hang out at that place on tuesdays.. BTW.. at least until
it's getting too smoky.
