Well, I mostly disagree with this. Supporting a free software doesn't only mean giving money. Making companies adopt it also makes it more popular and widespread. I think it also helps a lot.

That's good to know and fits exactly in what I meant by "supported". Thanks for these clarifications, very much appreciated.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
