Yes, that's in a nutshell the difference between the Free Software people
and the Open Source people.  I suppose it will be one of those great
questions you can't really answer, like is a child born with the
understanding of right from wrong, or is it learned?  Still whatever you do,
do not play that free software song anymore... =p

The difference betweeen python developers and perl?  Oops, there is that
insult!

Remember they are aussies, and are asleep when we are awake, plus the
weekend comes sooner to them than to us.  At least it did for me while I was
stationed in Korea, so I assume it's the same down there.

It's not so much if it's a fork or not, it is.  It's that it's a blessed
fork that still works with the parent project and community =D.
