It started when Keith and Jim decided to pressure the XFree86
project on behalf of Linux distributions who felt that the XFree86
project wasn't acting in line with their business plans.
There are companies who make money from bundling up software
that they didn't write, yet don't feel that what they've gotten
will allow them to compete with Microsoft the way they'd like.
After seeing the courses of action that those parties have decided
to take, I realized that it would become more and more unlikely
that I'd be happy working in such an environment. This is my
hobby. I don't do it for any religious or political reasons.
When it become for aggravating than fun, it's time to move to
another hobby.
Mark.
