I find this view rather short sighted. I thought our being here as the LDP
|
|
is to document Linux and provide information to people to let them use it.
|
|
|
|
I don't think it's in our "charter" to dictate to people what they should use.
|
|
We should provide a higher emphasis on free software, but denying documentation
|
|
about non-free software is shooting the Linux community in the foot.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, non-free software is the answer that is required. It's not a failing
|
|
of the free software community, it's just the way it is. MySQL isn't Oracle,
|
|
Koffice isn't StarOffice, and there isn't a bit of free software out there
|
|
that's Remedy.
