Those evil Open-Source guys:
> They think it’s just fine if someone wants to write proprietary extensions to their software
It is really important to not collaborate with those bastards by any means. Because what matters most is ideology, not actual working open systems ...
edit:
Ok, more seriously: "but the open source people reject our philosophy."
I consider myself as a "open source people" and I would say, that yes, I reject a philosophy of fanatism.
I love open source and I would like that the whole world would operate on open systems, but I think the best way to do this, is not with fanatism. So if somebody wants to use my software to comercialise it with prop. extension, then I would not like it so much, as if he would have them open as well, but I would still prefer this, than if he would have use a different, closed software as alternative.
You don't change peoples mind by barking at them and telling them not to use things, unless they fully convert, because then they will just stay with the closed world they know.
So step by step to a nicer future ... that means open-source for me.
