Whether or not you agree with the GNU philosophy, it just doesn't make sense to sneer at the countless man-hours they have put into their fine products - and this basically either for altruistic reasons, devotion to a non self-serving cause, or else for the pure love of their work. If you think that this is worse than commercialism, and ought to be banned from the net, then it looks - at least to me - as though your value-system is upside down. -Richard
