Yes, you should!
If you keep a company like that going by pumping new blood into it
you'll just end up seeing more companies like them, and before you
know it there will be no more standard compliant business sites
anywhere on the internet.

I really don't see what's wrong with believing in something. All I'm
saying is that companies like MS are catching on, and being paid to do
things like this. The Debian way is the opposite of companies like that,
and you're telling me I'm wrong for having these viewpoints on a
*Debian* mailing list.
I'm not saying to be out of work because you don't agree with a company,
but I think more people should be passionate for what they believe in. I
didn't think people here would be so prone to jump on me for just
stating my opinion on something.
You may have misinterpreted my observation as criticism. It was,
instead, high praise. None of the standard emotives [ :-) ] seemed
appropriate.
There's nothing wrong with not being employed by a company because you
don't agree with the company. In some professions, its a professional
duty to not work for such a company. It follows that if there are _no_
employers with whom you agree then there is a mismatch between your
morals and the wider culture in which you find yourself. You would then
be a refugee of concience. Hopefully, your country is large and diverse
enough to have a multitude of culture from which to choose in which to
immerse yourself. (I'm Canadian Eh?)
