Although atm I am mostly on the sidelines and not active due to health 
issues I would note that much like Nickolas above I joined HUMBUG 
because it was about Unix and not specifically just Open Source (and 
Linux).    Certainly the capability to discuss work related topics, 
ideas and solutions would be dramatically reduced if we ended up 
restricted to open-source implementations and tools.
