Granted, but don't' you want to support these companies with enough vision
to adopt Linux?
What is the alternative? Roll over and let MS assimilate us all? Isn't this
what we're about, supporting Linux and Linux developers? When I get around
to developing a Linux product and want to let people know about it, are you
going to ban me from the list too?
I'm not against some control, I certainly don't want to see an add for
Crystal's Hair salon for dogs.

Sorry if I offend.

IMHO,
Brian
