This is not the argument put forth, but this is definitely where the political line falls: You either believe in open source or you don't. No one has summarized this better than Victor: "The GPL/RTLinux work that we do loses money -- actually, we budget it under "marketing"." Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you find yourself, ask yourself this question: Do I want to be part of Victor's marketing team?
