I use to see little practical difference between Free and Open Source.
I use to think that Open Source was better because for business and therefore
the community.  SCO v. IBM has shown me the error of that thinking.

I would suggest that you do look very closely at the issues between the two
camps, and work out where your allegiance lie.

If everyone wanted to play fair it wouldn't matter.  But not everyone does
want to play fair, and therefore we need rules that force everyone to play
fair in case they decided to turn in the future.
