Can we support for-profit organizations to make money?
(Note: I would think it also applies to non-profit organizations that raises money in some way via the software we distribute)
In general, there's no reason to not support them. But I guess it all depends on how the organizations deal with various things, like privacy, licenses, patents, etc. That could be summed up as "Is this organization a good citizen?"
If this road is traveled, one must face the decision of which to support, or not, when conflictions arise such as direct competitors, especially when minor differences determine that one is supported and the other not. Possibly a *major* "can of worms"? Open source is not *free* of bias. I am not condemning the prospect, but wondering the effect. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
