Your post explicitly states:

> Open source software takes just as much marketing and "sales" to convince people to use--say nothing about contribute to it--as proprietary software.

The comments in response to my post have been about the author's of said software publishing blogs - are you really equating 1 author publishing a blog with the 'marketing and sales' used to sell proprietary software (as in dedicated sales team, dedicated marketing teams, SEO, dedicated social media/pr employees)?

> Postgres is very heavily marketed by EnterpriseDB.

Saying that Postgres is 'very heavily marketed' when drawing a comparison to the marketing proprietary software receives isn't just misleading, it's false.
