i dont consider a school as a profit oriented business yet BSA has targeted
schools before.
i really struggle sometimes with Christian principals and F/OSS especially
when you read the philosphies of some coders.but i also have problems the
same way with the world i come into contact with everyday.
the only thing i can do is what is right for me.i cant decide what is right
for others.i would hope that my walk in Christ would help to encourage others
to do the same.it is still choices we all must make.
sorry if i missed the point to this discussion and apologies.
