> never ever behave like those we lost confidence and trust in! Absolutely, because if we're going to do this, and I mean any time in the future, let's just turn tail and pack up right now. Because making free copycats of proprietary crap in the world, where you can simply literally copy (in copyright parlance "steal") the original for free any time you want would in my humble opinion be a complete waste of time. Libre software and open standards are all about preferring freedom of choice to horribly broken one size fits all proprietary solutions and they're meant to be free as in freedom, but not necessarily free as in free beer. Accepting broken proprietary stuff in a free system and doing everything to accommodate it's creators is no different from going back to where you came from. Such user should simply revert to whatever proprietary platform he used until now and save everyone (including himself) lots of trouble.
> From Linus I already read excerpt of an interview that he doesn't care how > many people are using Linux. Linus is my personal Jesus Christ and he's got that right. Like libre software? Great! You don't? Who cares? I believe that most users of libre software share a common characteristic of not being sheeple by nature and that people using libre software are generally the ones willing to get their hands dirty whenever there's a problem to be solved rather than just sitting around while bitching and waiting for someone else to save their sorry asses. The "success" and predominance of proprietary platforms simply prove that people actually like being tied up and locked down while maintaining their convenience and illusion of freedom. > I see it different because I want to use Linux but with the constraints given > by the world I am connected to does not allow a flawless use of Linux/Ubuntu.
