Hug Your Favorite FOSS Contributors Today (On the Internet, no one can see you nod.)
,----[ Quote ]
| So I suggest taking Val's Thank-You Meme a
| step further and take a minute to send a
| thank-you to your favorite FOSS project. Or
| three or ten or however many. It's fast,
| easy, and encouraging. Just like Valerie
| said, on the Internet no one can see you
| nod, so consider taking that extra step to
| let some of our fine FOSS contributors know
| that you appreciate what they're doing. And
| remember that's not just developers, but
| packagers, artists, distro maintainers,
| people who help in forums, howto authors,
| Linux OEM vendors, independent consultants,
| and so on. We need all of us.

I just want some freedom
,----[ Quote ]
| As a consumer, Iâve never really minded
| paying for software, and while Iâm far from
| made of money, the free that interests me
| the most where open source software is
| concerned is the kind that lets me use said
| programs for what I want, without the
| fussiness and demands of a publisher on the
| other side of the planet getting in my way.
| Bluntly, Iâd rather commercial publishers
| just said thanks and went on their way,
| rather than filling my in-box with junk.
|
| To those, therefore, who work away on open
| source software: my thanks. Because even
| though the comments on message boards and
| suchlike may kid you otherwise, your work is
| appreciated. And your ethos most certainly
| is tooâ

FOSS and the Free Market
,----[ Quote ]
| In conclusion, the way the free market works makes it impractical to sell
| software itself. By taking software out of the market and into the hands of
| open source developers, we can let the market work the way it's supposed to.
