"I had the opportunity to speak with several KDE developers recently. Benjamin Reed, Jaroslaw Staniek and Ralf Habacker are several of the many talented developers working on porting KDE to Mac and Windows respectively. They explain in detail what's involved in making KDE and its myriad of applications boot under Mac and Windows."

Come now
I am not saying THAT .. You know that I agree with OSS.
What I am saying is that you
can promote the "idea" of OSS or you can promote that which makes OSS OSS ,
i.e the software.
Promotion of OSS can be in two different ways, You can lower the level of expertise
for it's adoption , or
you can increase people's awareness of what it is
and hope they cross over ,
moved by the motivation of the "cause".
I would like to see you explain the difference between a free version of ZoneAlarm
on www.download.com and , for the sake of argument it's not a brilliant alternative ,
with a program like for ClamAV. Both are "free" and trying to create that distinction ,
I think is a waste of time. You can promote free software that way.
Or you can promote it by making it easier for the average user to adopt
the software and use it,
like what the KDE port effort is now doing. The ideology , manufacture of the software is mostly transparent from the user.
