Some people feel that if it is not open from the mettle on up it does
not belong here. This is likely due to the years of bad blood with
regard to those closed products. To me this is akin to my dealer
telling me they can not honer my warranty on a defective part because
that part was linked to a part that was designed to wear out (even
though that part did not wear out). I my self feel this should be
F/OSS community but I am way in the minority because I support Free
but closed products like VMWare and DB2. That said I respect the
difference and share the dream that we will all move to Open systems
