Is anyone going to volunteer that they are a zealot? :)

Are you asking us if we want access to read source code? Are you asking us if we believe in software freedom? Come to think of it ... what does OPEN SOURCE mean this week?

As stated in my article on why do you still have an iphone, if there exists an open alternative that competes (or is on it's way to being competitive), I will almost always choose the open counterpart. So I'll still use closed source software (there has yet to be a game console that truly competes with the Wii, PS3 or 360 for example), but dream constantly of an open alternative.

my 1st time on this website..just curios what is the purpose
