Thanks Thilo Pfennig, the emails have been convincing and all critics of FOSS need is one little mistake to blame the whole community and i don't wanna be the cause of the blame... So no more changes in plans towards aggression! http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html read this and respect freedom...
Sashi, the term "logi bomb" alone frightens people. Also I do not believe that its necessary to convince people aggressively.
that i think is true.. I apologise for the cause of this whole conversation to all FOSS activists.. On Sat, Aug 2, 2008 at 8:26 PM, Thilo Pfennig <tp@pfennigsolutions.de> wrote:

There should be NO activity which is on a users computer without their choice. You can offer them a CD Cracking is not advocacy.
Sorry but the whole idea of free software is that it is liberty for the user. It doesnt matter whether youre getting into their computer for a cause which you think of as a useful thing. The act of removing their choice is in direct contradiction to the ethos of floss.
I do not think that there is such an ethos. FLOSS only means open source and free licenses, nothiung more. It should not be extended. FLOSS can also mean commercial software which gives users no choice. If you want more or something different you should find a new term.
An on "hackers" - "Hackers" are also coders. So no hackers, no FLOSS. But I also think intruding computers does no good promotion for FLOSS. But as a hacker you can show how easy a Windows computer can be intruded.
