It makes my blood boil to think that a formerly free LDP document will
now be made "pay per view". I'm very disturbed at this situation. I
don't think we should even link to it. Once we start linking to such
abominations then the next step might be to charge to view our stuff.
What we need to do is apply for government and foundation funding. I
think the best way to do this is to give prizes for the best work and
to give preference to works that are not promoting commercial software
particular brands of hardware, or commercial distributions.
