My thoughts: 1) On perseverance: Giving up is not an option. "Can't Fix" admits defeat.
2) On pragmatism: We might need to temporarily accept a binary blob (or three) or even a proprietary service along the road to Freedomville. When we do, we've introduced a bug to be fixed later. (It's a bit like taking shortcuts in programming. Sometimes we do that to get the result faster, knowing that there's debt to be repaid down the road.) 3) On timeline: Ubuntu will outlive all of us. "Ubuntu is not just software." When making plans we should consider a planning horizon of at least 20 years. 4) On history: Just because others have failed to implement a business model that maintains independence from capital markets, and respects, spreads and preserves freedom, we should not assume that is the 100% probable case. History is not always a good predictor of the future and swans are sometimes black. Cheers, Randall.
