I have A LOTS (yes with an S because many) respect to your work for Free 
IT, because your
name was one the first and very mentionned when I started to focus on 
Linux. That said, and
I don't come back in respect level be sure, don't you think life made 
you forget some ?
What you purpose with all that commercials is NON SENSE with FLOSS.
Please, tell us on this subject, and about your plan, please.
