This is the correct analysis in my opinion. All other things being equal, the best thing that can happen to a small coffee shop is for another one to open across the street, because then the locality gets a better reputation for serving coffee and attracts more visitors. In a market where FS needs to obviously needs to 'compete' with non-free - the more FS orgs there are the better I think. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfe.org https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
