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

  2. @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.

  3. @dawisnowonbrainbirdasdouglasawh Only if you survey "would you pay $5 to stop ads like this?" Otherwise, you just get the handout-wanters.

  4. @monkeybritt PBS also receives half or more of its funding from Federal Taxes. Leo's not so lucky. :)

  5. @dawisnowonbrainbirdasdouglasawh Finding good sponsors for FW is especially hard, and donations don't happen. Costs must be paid.

  6. @fabsh I don't cover Linux distros because you guys do that already, and I'm a "practical" OSS guy, allowing a blend of open and closed S/W

  7. @monkeybritt FLOSS Weekly is sometimes ad-supported to cover production costs. The ads are still far fewer than most shows. :)

  9. A mail thread of linux podcasters, wanting cross promotion. I said no to playing promos, but I *would* trade being interviewed for mention.

  10. @evan Yeah, hopefully, the tedium was all mine. :)

  11. @threethirty Wasn't addressed. I don't believe in hiding behind hacker aliases, or that a foul-language show helps open source.

  12. @threethirty Listen to the Linux Outlaws chat, and you'll see I addressed the "linux"/"important" aspect. Or don't, and be a jerk. :)
