I have no objection to open source any more than I do monasteries, convents or communes. It is a personal decision to be generous with our time toward our neighbors.

But, why do people who value open source despise other people’s deviant choices? Why are they so doctrinaire? If we humans own ourselves then we are allowed to devote our time where we choose. I must conclude then that some of the open source community do not agree with one’s freedom to choose commercial software and hardware.

Where did they get the idea that we are their minions? Why are they moralists? Why do they exhibit such snobbery? Shouldn’t they be called on such pecksniffery?
