Maybe the developers should amend the Social Contract to make this more explicit? At least in the vote, it would become clear to what degree that statement is true or untrue. (With 2000 developers, any unqualified statement is likely to be false....)
It is an unqualified statement indeed. I'm just exagerating Manojs point and claim I understand it (because calling it 'condescending' supposes that the majority of the society feels that way and I want to make clear that at least one person thinks otherwise). I thought the bit you snipped would nuance it and make clear that I don't actually suppose this is the _main_ reason for _all_ developers to develop. sincerely Ivo Wever I.J.W.Wever@student.tnw.tudelft.nl --To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
