You too, are missing the point kg. Unfortunately, there are far too many 
people who associate themselves with foss for dogmatic/moral/political 
reasons, and seem to miss the whole point, which is having fun sharing 
your work/knowledge (at least in my view).

I'm really saddened when people paint "proprietary" to be the enemy when 
it's putting the food on so many tables here. Some people want to be 
paid for their work, let it be so. Foss and proprietary software both 
have their places. Neither of them are going anywhere. I just hope 
people get on with their lives and stop seeing things in free vs. 
proprietary holy war mindset. With all due respect to everyone 
concerned, grow up, guys.

Vamsee.
