It's amazing how many HN members haven't left the 1990s.

For good reason. The battle for FOSS with the emphasis on F for Free (beer and speech) is still a very real one that will affect the future of technology as we know it. What amazes me is how much of hn has left that part of the 90s...
Which is why it's so important we embrace companies choosing to release FOSS. In order for the corporate world to push FOSS, they have to see that they're successful when they do it, and that it's possible for them to run businesses while contributing to and releasing their own work as FOSS.
