- Aramgutang 15y agoLooks like the author meant free as in freedom, not beer.
- sigzero 15y agoEveryone that I know that uses Skype couldn't care about the difference.
- FrojoS 15y agoHow many of those people do you want to video chat with regulary?
- eropple 15y agoMost of them, because I actually work with them. It may come as a shock to some people, but the overwhelming majority of people--even in the tech would--literally could not care less if their VOIP client is FSF-approved and based on open standards. "Does it work?" is a much more powerful consideration.
- bxr 15y ago>It may come as a shock to some people... Outside of your strawmen, I don't think you're shocking anybody.
- eropple 15y agoI dunno, the concept seems rather foreign to the person I replied to. In the general case, for the overwhelming majority of people, things that work are more important than things that are ideologically pure.
