 indeed.  this is the last thing i will say on this subject, and it's
something that i've refrained from pointing out until now.  let's
imagine that someone is in a position to finance a project, having
made some money through selling hardware and also respecting software
freedom.  let's imagine that there is a community that endorses the
use of proprietary software services "for convenience", and the
well-financed project's goals also include the promotion of respect
for software freedom in all its aspects. what do you rate the chances
of that community receiving any money from the well-financed project?
you do not need to answer, vladimir.
