Where do you get this idea that everybody (me, ubuntu, anybody who isn't abiding your 100% Free Software rule) is promoting proprietary software over open source? If you support somebody using flash and acrobat on Linux - you're promoting the other 99.9% of the software they're using which will be free. > > Nonsense.

That's funny - the FSF directory links to several of my FL/OSS projects. I give up my time to write patches and report bugs in free software. I've started a mailing list for discussing FL/OSS and open standards in Liberal Democrat policy and I'm campaigning for FL/OSS and Open Standard supporting policy within the party - talking to MP's and other campaigners. Goodness! if there were more people like me, the community would be doomed! > I don't want to be associated with you. Then unsubscribe.
