there are different aspects in what you said , 1) market forces : market will decide on what will survive free or proprietory 2) development methodology : open source the emphasis is more on the development methodology and packaging, Freedom is not emphasised much and the advocates try to avoid the term. since the whole point of starting of this was to not to confuse the word free with free beer. 3) philosphy : free software is a movement social/political one where the free as in freedom is important. most of what you hear the noise and fanaticism is about the third where people needed to be educated . -Satya fossevents.in _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
