That is why People here called on you to do some research before resorting to slandering genuine free projects and condoning non-free ones thus making yourself look stupid before those who really think. If you did really check the facts for yourself you would have cause less confusion. So the things you need to do immediately are 1) Develop a habit of researching and learning before you comment on anything. 2) Choose the appropriate words during Interviews. As it is said "Evil thrives on ambiguity"!! >>The problems that > > have been reported here in various free systems (and, mostly, > > corrected) show I need to discuss the criteria more carefully with > > them. > Who is the them? The FSF Folks who give you wrong information? Well You should take a clear consistent stand first. The your followers have at least a little chance for doing same. Out here the most craziest people I have seen are those who cry/flame/fight with Zeal for FSF and Stallman who know nothing about what FSF and Stallman stands for. But it is clear now. When even Stallman does not know what he stands for or what the FSF stands for in a consistent light and have to resort to word play and word spin I can only pity the followers. > You contradict yourself.

Like. "A Straight Line is an *arc*, An arc of a circle with infinite radius" But the problem is when it comes to practicality nobody has seen a circle like that yet fully!!!
