Where has the pioneer spirit of LWN gone?Where has the pioneer spirit of LWN gone?Posted Aug 11, 2002 18:54 UTC (Sun) by DeletedUser399 ((unknown), #399)Parent article: Where has the pioneer spirit of LWN gone? This is insane. Sure, the LWN writers could all become volunteers, but so could you. Whatever you do, would you really like to do it all for free, and then work another job so that you can still live. That sounds like fun, right? Yeah right. Furthermore, re: Mandrake. Yes, in a way it is questionable with a company asking for donations. Yet, I don't know about you, but I love the fact that Mandrake releases all of their code to the community. I love the fact that KDE gets great people like David Faure and Laurent Montel. Would you really rather have Mandrake not ask for donations, but instead only develop proprietary software? Would that be better? You really needed to think about practical issues before complaining. If you want everything the way it is right now - with both LWN and Mandrake - you must help out. If you can't help with a little money, why should all of the developers and writers help you out by providing the services you enjoy? You can't have your cake and eat it too, you know.
