It's a bit depressive that once we get an interesting discussion going on this list which normally has such low volume, and which is *definitely* on-topic, someone comes along and tries to kill it because it doesn't fit *their* ideal of what the topics should be. Allow me to vent a few seconds; Sorry, but OSS is *all* about code and often about business models, and rest assured Karen and all the rest of us *definitely* are defining the "enterprise" in question as the library world, so this is *all* about code for libraries. We aren't writing code in the posts, but we certainly are talking about code. Nitpicking about such *tiny* semantic differences is just one of those things which drive me up the wall! Of *course* this topic has a place on this list, and of *course* we're not going to create Yet Another MailingListForSomethingJustBecauseWeAreBloodyLibraries, and of *course* we should talk about these things, and *especially* here where coders talk about code. Code is more than syntax. But I guess this thread is dead now, and so is at least *my* ideal of what this list is, so take care.
