I am not "the LaTeX community". I am just a LaTeX user. Incidentally, the only thing I said about freedom was that from my perspective TeX seems just as "free" as Linux. That doesn't seem an earth-shaking pronouncement to me. > Also note that there are many > contributors to the Linux kernel aside from Linus Torvalds But they are all vetted by Torvalds. There are also several contributors to the LaTeX "kernel" -- not so many, certainly, but that is because LaTeX is a much narrower project.
