Commercial software in our links database?
As some of you know, the new Linux-IL links manager is present on the
following URL:
http://www.linux.org.il/new_links/
Those who wish to get the username and password for admining it should
E-mail me.
In any case, I came here to ask whether I should include links to
commercial and closed-source products under the software directory. IMO,
it should because:
1. We are the Israli Group of Linux Users (IGLU) not the Israeli Group of
Open-Source Devotees (IGOSD).
2. If people see there's lots of good commercial software available for
Linux, they'll be more reluctant to try it out, including trying all the
free software available for it.
3. I don't have anything against commercial software.
Anyways, what are your opinions? Note that the current configuration of
the Links Manager does not allow me to mark commercial links in any way.
Thus, I cannot remove, unremove them at will.
