Um, you seem to make the strangest of connections from posts on this list. I fail to see how you arrived at the conclusion that the people below assumed bad motives on the part of Freedom Labs. > @Pratul, > @Amar, > @Nishant, > @Nandeep: > > Instead of criticizing Freedom Labs-- you should first understand > their background and motives. > > They are trying to do what for a lot of school administrators is > a big headache-- and if for that they want enough to reimburse > their cost of conveyance and media-- then it is ok. [..] I will not get into this ridiculous (to me) notion that there is "good" commerce that does not ask for "too much". To my mind, commercialisation is a topic largely orthogonal to that of FOSS. Regardless of that argument, a rule that has been pretty well followed on this list is that all posts that are commercial be marked as such, and IMHO, one should err on the side of caution in marking posts as commercial. If you have failed to notice this, most people posting even job opportunities mark these as commercial. Amar, this is in no way a slam against Narendra, Freedom labs, or yourself. It is even understandable that someone might forget to mark a commercial post as such once in a while. But, please do that in the future.
