That's exactly the way to get more people using free software. Let's be hostile to anyone who doesn't subscribe to using 100% free software everywhere. I'd like to echo Aaron's sentiments about the reason we started this group. I like free software, but only when it's good. There's a lot of crap out there and sometimes there are better non-free alterntives. If I want I can try and help improve that sofware, and that's good but I'm not about to get all shirty with someone because they're using the non free option. I try and use as much free software as possible but I'm not going to get hung up about helping my sister out with her Windows laptop. This sums up why I personally don't choose call it GNU/Linux. It's not that I don't think the GNU software is an important part of the whole, it's that I think the GNU zealotry does more harm than good.
