Any adoption of OSS should be welcomed by members of the KCLUG, wether it be 
foreign counties, US cities, or the Democratic party, etc. I would be the 
first to acknowledge that Jim's post is both informational and political, 
however your reaction must be to the political inference and seems to support 
SCO's suggestion that OSS and community based efforts are little more than 
communist. This is unfortunate as the decision to not use an insecure, 
proprietary product from an abusive monopolistic corporation indicates good 
judgment and a willingness to not co-tow to at least one corporate interest.
Of course thats just my opinion, I could be right. :')
