It's funny, telling people they're wasting their time never seems to go over very well. Even when it was Gnome vs. KDE telling each other they were their projects were a distraction or siphoning off resources, all it does is make those who've dedicated themselves to a project pissed and work on it harder. |

This is a far better example than I could ever put together for why I don't express gratitude to big companies that contribute to FOSS. They contribute if and only if it's for their own benefit. Why should I celebrate that? |

> They contribute if and only if it's for their own benefit. Why should I celebrate that? If their interest aligns with yours, then it's a good thing. Unfortunately, that seldom seems to be the case any more. |
