Could the link be updated?
I'll update it in a mo.
I'm not keen that we promote companies that promote proprietary software - what do others feel about this? I think we should offer our support to free software only.
Specifics Matt? The LUG has always supported migration and tools that make GNU/Linux more attractive and sometimes that means introducing people to software that can run on multiple platforms. (Get the staff used to things like Mozilla on their current platform means one less change when they move to GNU/Linux.) Some of the companies that produce migration tools or multi-platform applications are going to offer windows executables and other MS implementations in other areas of their output. If the company is the size of IBM, the fact that they also produce proprietary software should not reduce the importance of their GNU/Linux support. I feel that provided that the output is GNU/GPL compatible, that program/app can be supported.
