Even if we loose in the short term (which I don't think we do) we'd loose in the long term. There is no use to having users who do not contribute or understand how to in any way. This culture needs to be grown and nurtured. I protest again that the confusion is due to the bad explanations and bad communication of people who do not understand foss well enough to be involved in creating great, effective marketing. I have no trouble explaining foss to people in person and few of them are _that_ confused. Perhaps it's because I don't say it's free.
