It's true Posted Oct 2, 2004 0:18 UTC (Sat) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510) [Link] Well, I think we'll win more often if we don't allow ourselves to be blinded by our own rhetoric. Yes, there are panderers to software pirates who use the free software community as some sort of "human shield". It's best to admit that it goes on and deprecate the folks who do it, rather than deny it and sound insincere. I don't believe the premise of the (withdrawn) Gardener report, which is to discount the figures quoted for Linux sales. We all know about lots of systems sold with Windows that don't run Windows. But we should also admit to ourselves that sometimes it works the other way.Bruce
