Dear Friends,
After a few years of collaboration on pgAdmin, I wish to retire from pgAdmin
Group, at least for a few months. In the future, I will concentrate on the
battle for justice and freedom using legal and non-violent means.
Large companies and many governments in the world misunderstand the notion of
Free Software. We cannot only explain them that Free Software is like music,
although RMS is perfectly right when he does so.
On the converse, we need to demonstrate that GNU/Linux has a real financial
value and calculate this value. Anyone who believes in capitalism should
defend GNU/Linux.
I plan to collect and release financial information about Free Software. To
remain unbiased, I cannot at the same time belong to a developper group and
calculate free software financial value. Therefore, I wish to retire, even if
it is "heart-breaking".
Ultimately, the right of writing Free Software should be written in the
constitutions of large countries: India, China and the European Union.
This effort for freedom can only be a collaborative effort. I will publish
information later to keep you informed of the progress of the work.
Any help is welcome. I am looking in particular for people with (1)
micro-economical skills and (2) knowledge in theories of justice. A good
knowledge in John Maynard Keynes and John Rawls works would be perfect.
Best regards,
Jean-Michel POURE
