So far, i have yet to meet anyone asking for freedom. And it is not something that can be taught. People go in for foss for any or all the reasons above, and slowly realise, to some degree or the other what freedom is, and the fact that they are free.
I have seen a few students, who wanted to know a piece of SW down to its deepest level: exactly how it works. A question that has its ONLY reply in *FREE*.
The biggest turn-off for people is the semi-religious approach to foss. I feel it is time the FSF started realising who its enemies are (they are not who they think they are). Frankly I feel the usage of the term 'linux[sic]' is sick.
The people that are writing 'linux[sic]' can put forward a reason. And you are just feeling? Why don't go to some 3-paise romance societies: they will appreciate a lot your idiotic talk-smart stance.
