I apologize if I somehow offended You or somebody else. Fair enough. I'm used to the typical Linuxheads with huge egoes who won't touch anything un-Linux with a ten foot pole, and who don't give anything that isn't open-source any kind of credit. I believe that both open-source and closed-source can be used responsibly, and will not discredit or ignore a piece of software if it uses one or the other. You're right, I do use a lot of open-source programs, but I use a lot of closed-source ones as well, as how the program was developed does not necessarily dictate the quality or utility of the software. |

Posted in reply to Jarrett Billingsley | The licenses for DMD were set up so that both open and closed source developers can use it. Both are welcome, and both are welcome to post announcements here. |

Walter, I just wanted to note that I never said closed-source project announcements are not welcomed - it is not on me to say anyway since I am not the host. :)
