Verily I say unto thee, that George Barca spake thusly:
[snip]
Executive summary: The world is full of evil, that's just the way it is.
Yes George, the world is indeed full of evil, but it is also filled with
good. It only remains for each of us to choose a side, take a stand, and
fight our cause. Unfortunately, we can never win, because this battle is
eternal, but that's the whole point. It's not the destination - it's the
journey.
AFAIAC companies like Microsoft represent that half of humanity which is
profoundly evil, and organisations like the FSF represent the other half
of humanity which is profoundly good. This is of course a generalisation
and gross oversimplification, that is never 100% true either way, but it
is true /enough/ to be able to decide who one's friends and enemies are.
So what side did /you/ choose?
