Those are different directions. People with proprietary software is encouraged to use Free Sotfware in case of Emacs. How is it encouraging emacs users to use windows? But in case of BSDs Free Software users are encouraged to use proprietary software. We are promoting Free Software among proprietary software users, not other way around. I think that is an important difference. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
