So, for you, the line is who is providing the hosting? I respectfully don't agree. A commercial hosting service could provide a 100% free software hosted platforms, which would be reproducible at home. I have no problem with that. For me, the problem is more when the underlying IaaS isn't free, when the SaaS uses a PaaS which isn't free, or if the software on the SaaS platform isn't free. This is where I draw the line, and this has absolutely nothing to do with what kind of contract I have with my provider (shared hosting, dedicated servers, collocation, or even a public or private IaaS cloud). Thoughts? Cheers, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: http://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
