Re: [linux-audio-dev] Tracker

Thomas Webb (magusofthedark(a)yahoo.com): Is it elitist for a programmer to want applications to be open source? I use Acrobat reader and it does not pain me greatly that it is closed source, but as a coder I am also very thankful for the many open source projects that have helped me, and I am sure the ones I have contributed to have been equally appreciative. So, I think we're entitled to at least have an opinion on the matter. That said, I would like to see Linux be more popular, but I find posts of the nature 'if Linux wants to make it big then developers should do blah' to be somewhat misdirected. I am sure that many developers are like myself: I code in my spare time for fun and because there is a community of developers who appreciate my work and help me out. I am not trying to kill Microsoft, I don't have time, I am just having fun. -Billy
