I am not laying flame bait here....

But from experience I have talked to allot of people about linux and open source over the years and now I tend to say yeah open source is great! you actually seen any?

I like to edit code and recompile it even if its to flavour the textual output of an application or kernel to something more personal like instead of "Safe to power off!" sort thing to "Safe to power off! no wait bzzzztttt!"

From a philosophical stand point distributing the "open source" seem's a bit more to the point of to me. :-)
