And this again. You know the difference between OpenSource and ClosedSource? You pay for ClosedSource. For OpenSource you don't need to pay. But I have neither time nor energy to explain you the philosophy (before Poetterix) of OpenSource. But I can tell you this much. OpenSource and its developers usually have no commercial intentions. It seems to be different for Poettering and his fanboys. > I get that people who want to avoid systemd are frustrated by this, > but honestly it feels like spitting against the wind at this point.

The situation with KDE has nothing - and I mean nothing - to do with the situation with systemd. But I have neither time nor energy to explain that, too.
