   Does anyone else find it funny that FLOSS Weekly is sponsored by a ms product? !fsf

     @sdanna Found that weird myself. But I don't think many want software freedom in their car software, or? !fsf

     @torswin Hmm, how is that relevant? Cars have different issue. No one (AFAIK) doesn't drive car for "non-free" software!

     @osamak http://2tu.us/160d is being advertised in the podcast FLOSS Weekly. It is proprietary software that's run in the car.

     @torswin When encased in a tonne of metal going 100km/h, I like to know every part can be scrutinised & fixed, even the stereo. !fsf

     @sdanna FLOSS Weekly frequently plug dual-licensed or "open core" products & regularly trash #RMS & !FSF. They should drop the "FL".

     @freemjd Yup, we cover the entire range of consumer-is-free-to-modify software. It's a big umbrella. RMS isn't the only one with good ideas.

     @merlyn Fine, call it "Good Ideas Weekly", then.

     @freemjd Nope. Still limited to Free(Libre) and Open Source Software. Notice the "and".

     @merlyn There's a good Xplane 787?
