Please don't lump me with the open source movement. Open source is an allegely more pragamatic movement. They make agurements based on practialities, not me.
For me, this is about moral, about what is right; not what is best software to use.
It is about freedom in the sense of liberty, not free beer, not how good it is, not how flexible it is, or how convinent it is.
Please don't called me an open source advocate, it would mislead people to what I stand for.
Open source is often, Free softwares, and vic-versa. But it is not alway so.
I tried to be congurent in what I believe and my action. And so I run Debian GNU/linux, and run no propreitary flash player(the player I am using is of bad quality, but I decided to live with it). It is hard, but I want to be consistent.
I develop only Free softwares. I adovcate OGG and other open format.
My current direct action is to replace the dependencies on proprietary games by creating my own Free software games.
My long term goal is to eventually make a living off Free softwares.
And maybe...it is time to drop this forum because of the refusual to run Free softwares(in an attempt to be consistent). It won't hurt the forum in the long run I am sure. I do not know what to make now, but in a few days I will decide.
