Why not calm down and quote Elmar correctly? He said:


"...If I voluntarily write open-source
connectors, I surley write them for open-source products.

In general there is no reason for us to voluntary reward companies that
repeatedly misuse monopolistic positions. It's up to yourself to judge wich
companies behave in this way. Some judgments of european courts will help
you to detect them."


There are plenty of good reasons for preferring open source software
over proprietary stuff when there's a choice--especially if you're
deciding where to DONATE your time and energy.
