Let's see what everyone thinks about the OSS/FSF vs. Micro$0pht fight
PS: OSS stands for Open Source Software (http://www.opensource.org/) While FSF Stands for Free Software Foundation (http://www.gnu.org)
From an ethical, technical, commercial point of view.

Joe.

From my years experince with dealing with linux on all levels, I have
to lean more for Free Software Foundation, then any other.

The reasons for this aren't totally very informative, just from all
the things and background of FSF and all the licenses projects under
it.

i vote Open Source Software

If I could, I'd vote for both FSF & OSS.

I've voted for open source software and that's just becouse of one thing, open source products don't just give you a programe it gives you the ability (if you are a coder) to make that code better, not for you but for those who will use the programe. That's the whole concept of using open source programs, you can alway make them better, fixing holes, making slight adjustments,ect., like in the past year blog's got very popular, it's open source aswell, you can change the code completly if you like, and ppl have been doing just that, that's why you have so many templates and plugins for blogs all over the net.

I think it's great. just hope OSS stayes the way it is!

Greets.

OSS! without them I couldn't have read those lame docs. cheesy! hehe but frankly speaking, with those apps as an alternative for shareware, its a big boost for the internet community especially if you could do some resuable code that could help boost the app from OSS. knowledge shoud be free!

Anything but M$
