I disagree on a point of principle. While I understand and respect your point, it is impossible to deny an achievable result of supporting fs, and at the same time affirm to support fs. Or people that support fs do that when speaking, and not when writing code ? And obviously I think that the Project cannot discourage the use of proprietary software, but just to encourage the use of free software. JM2C. Marco * Marco A.
