"only interested in open source because of the bottom line"

And what is your claim (and Microsoft's, or
VxWorks) for the reason for their interest
in software? WHY THE BOTTOM LINE, EH?

And what has that to with ‘lets all have a
group hug’ mentality? You contradict
yourself right there. First you claim
they're only interested in "the bottom
line". The very next sentence you claim
they're only interested in "a group hug".

That's what happens when you try to prove
facts by twisting opinions, assumptions, and
heresy around.

So you think Microsoft's business methods
are fine because their business depends on
the "bottom line", defined as making money?
But.... at the same time, any of their
customers (or competitors) whose "bottom
line", defined as NOT spending money, you
accuse of "stealing music and video" and
wanting "free beer"?

And you cram ALL THAT in one paragraph. The
inside of your mind must look like Microsoft
code, a bowl of chopped up spaghetti.

You should take care of your 70 y/o father
(and be happy that you still have him to
take care of), instead of worrying and
fretting about the FSF. You obviously have
no meaningful input, even if you HAVE
convinced yourself that you do.
