What I like about the majority of the Linux ecosystem is that it has a rather low level of dogma. To be sure, I prefer Free Software and any code I've contributed over the years has been under one sort of copyleft license or another. Debian, like all of the major distributions, pull software from many sources. There is no such thing as a "pure" Linux distributions as they're all collections from many projects. Probably the most dogmatic distributions are Trisquel and Guix but I doubt they have the NIH attitude I sense from OpenBSD. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
