    The people who work at VmWare also very often posted (and still post)
    about their work and appear on Planet GNOME.

They should not do this, unless VmWare becomes free software.  GNOME
should not provide proprietary software developers with a platform to
present non-free software as a good or legitimate thing.

Perhaps the statement of Planet GNOME's philosophy should be
interpreted differently.  It should not invite people to talk about
their proprietary software projects just because they are also GNOME
contributors.
