How about Progeny pays a bunch of guys to work on boot-floppies full time,
and then the fee is waived? *g*
Seriously, however - Progeny has done a good deal of work for us, and
while perhaps Branden should have checked with whomever the list operator
is first, I think his post was following the spirit of the no-advertising
clause. As he pointed out, its free for download; as for the technical
support mentioned in the post, I doubt that anyone who reads this list
will need that. And, Progeny has made a very decent level of contributions
to Debian ;)
Branden, re your mail: I don't mind seeing these sort of announcements
from Progeny on the list. Shouldn't reach excessive levels, but an
occasional post concerning major releases and whatnot is fine.
