for anyone curious about Linux byond Ubuntu...

[Richmond Mathewson]

Still rabbiting on about FREE software.

Elive.

I don't know what those chaps are playing at: the
forced donation is neither one nor the other.

Obviously, the Elive people feel "coy" about making
their OS commercial - not entirely sure why - after
all being blunt and saying that Elive costs $25 (or
whatever) will put some people off, but probably not
as many as the forced donation "thing".

If you want to be paid for your work then say so.

What is nice about our world is that (at least in
large parts of it) there is room for a diversity of
belief systems, commercial systems and so on.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
