It is an exclusive proposition for non-FOSS. As a customer, I can't contribute to MSOffice.
However, I can contribute _and_ be a customer to FOSS. That's not what we're talking about, though.
- rglullis 10y agoTo be honest, I think we both lost the point of the conversation. All I was trying to say is that those that (1) respect/value FOSS but (2) end up buying/consuming a proprietary solution due to the current shortcomings of the free alternatives can still support FOSS, which might lead to (3) not needing proprietary solutions in the future. I don't want us to be arguing past each other, so please help me understand what you mean by "this is not how it works". Does it mean that you think that such strategy can not work? If so, why not?
