One phrase I heard recently and struck a chord:
Needs Unite, Ideas Divide
We all need Free Software but I think the attitude toward non-free seems to
vary - I seem to be on the side of "I don't care as long as I know where they
are on my system"
So yes, I think we just need to have a separate community and happily work
together 😄
