This is subjective, of course, but I think sending out the message that we eat our own dog food, and use only free software, is a good one. Remember how the Unysis fiasco went down, when they were using a UNIX server to denigrate UNIX OS'? They were laughed out of town for not using the solutions they were proposing.

Similar arguments w4ere advanced before we had the DFSG: people were saying that being free to distribute was good enough, that we needed to compromise in order to survive. I think distributing evaluation copies of commercial software was proposed, sice that would bring in ``revenue''. Guess what, we survive, despite the DFSG. I fully support Joey here. manoj -- Finagle's Eighth Law: If an experiment works, something has gone wrong.
