Agreed. While I like the idea of free software, and giving things away free, I think they should be done sensibly and pragmatically. Saving people time is fine. Writing off all complaints with "well, it's free, what did you expect?" is the same kind of crass capitalism I see in the pornography flooding the internet. Also, the open source community is quite insular, and doesn't accept advice well from outsiders in all instances. Even when we volunteer, for example, technical writing skills or project management experience. If it weren't for the somewhat unrealistic responses I've seen from open sourcers, I probably would be one. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Cygintl-3.dll-was-not-found-tf869884.html#a7042419 Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
