It doesn't fulfill all my dreams. But look on the road. How many Benz cars do you see? Is it in the numbers of Maruti's on the road? I see your argument from your position where you can ride on a Benz since your company can pay for it. But come down a bit. Go back to the days when you were only able to afford a Maruti. Most of the people are still there my friend. As a member in the FOSS community I'm telling the people who are stealing Benz cars to either buy one or choose an alternate car.

Even at the enterprise market level I try to push FOSS into it coz there are enough and more FOSS in that level. But if commercial/proprietary software is your choice I'm not against it as far as you don't violate its license. But just look around and see how many of them are violating this golden rule even at the enterprise level. <br /> <br />FOSS is not just an alternative to commercial/proprietary software. I used the word alternative because I wanted make it clear that if you are using a pirated software, you have to realize the fact that its is better to use an alternative software that gives you the freedom to use it and share among the others.

Coz, we know about the boundaries. But when we go through the enterprise market level, no way to go after alternatives… When we come to the individual level, then we can find enough alternative software for our own purpose.
