it's the duty of every member of TDF to support the
foundation, its<br>
purposes, goals and its community (including the source code
etc. the<br>

private (etc.)<br>
interests aside (if you like it or not).<br>

<p>it's always interesting to read statements on the view of the
(Open Source / Free Software) community and the commitment (or
non-commitment) to the charity organization The Document
Foundation and the purpose and goals of that organization.</p>
