... minus proprietary software, even if it runs on it. Different user
groups exist for different reasons. Knowing why a group exists, and
what values, principles they stand for is important to be part of the
group.
Free/open source software developers work with it for a reason, that
they enjoy the availability of source, and they like to share the
know-how with other people, which is not true with proprietary
software with their EULA (even if it runs on *nix). So, proprietary
software is a definite no-no in any F/OSS group.
The very basic fundamental principle that we like to share source code
and knowledge with other like minded people is why such F/OSS user
groups exist, and there is no room for comparison when this basic
principle is ignored.
Just my thoughts,
SK
