How much do you think 'pure' resonates with, say, my Mum? Let's start from the top: She doesn't understand or care about software freedom, and getting her to use GNOME should not depend on that understanding. So, 'pure' as a concept isn't that useful. "I came for the quality, I stayed for the freedom." - Sean Neakums That's how people come to value software freedom. So it is on the aspects of quality [1] that we must concentrate. Cool is a quality. :-) - Jeff [1] VALUE! ... and i don't mean monetarily.
