I don't think that should come as a surprise. This is art, not science, 
so I don't think Newtons words can be applied.

I really respect your idealistic premise for PACKET-IN, but cannot see 
myself apply it in practice. We all have different "borders", whether 
they're ethical or practical or something else. I cannot see myself use 
a Windows PC, but others here dual boot, or have a separate windows 
machine for certain things. On the other hand I found that limiting 
myself to FLOSS tools is limiting my artistic outcome. There are closed 
source apps available for linux, that are so good (and cost next to 
nothing) that not using them for the FLOSS cause would be stupid of me.

Let's not make this a discussion over me being in PACKET-IN, btw. I'm 
doing my own thing for rpm2010, and might follow you guys on the 
sideline, and contribute if I feel inspired to do so. And I do know how 
to operate FLOSS tools, so it's not a problem.
