- wolfgke 9y agoIf you really want an open software and platform (statement 1) you care about the principles of FOSS (a contradiction to statement 2), since if you only want some specific side benefits that FOSS provides, there exist "better" (quotes because as an FOSS fan these are note better) options.
- micahbright 9y agoNo true Scotsman fallacy. "If you really want an open source platform" is interpreted to mean different things to different people. Open source may literally mean "open source" without the associated zealous frothing at the mouth RMS association. No contradiction here.
