since I am not an FSF fanboi, the answer is easy for me. I dont worry about ethics. I do follow legalities even if I dont agree with the law in question. I dont use software that I have not paid for. My only sin upto date is running IE on linux - which is a breach of the eula governing download of IE. Generaly if there is a free alternative, I go for it. At times, like for DTP, where there is no real free alternative I still use whatever is available as free software because I cant afford the paid alternative. What i do object to is the holier than thou attitude of fanbois who dont practice what they preach. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
