I honestly thought the words "selling out" were invoked in a deliberate attempt to be inflammatory, as that's the only reason I'd use them. I guess I misunderstood, sorry.
I don't understand how we could be commited to free content yet opposed to certain groups from making free use of the free content or identifying and promoting its free source. I guess I don't understand your position at all.
It seems I often can't figure you out and I feel bad about that. Perhaps we could meet in person sometime? Your choice of food or drink on me.

World Wind support is a worthy cause, and everyone would like to see it. Please don't mix up worthy causes with what is, frankly, trolling and nonsense speculation about "selling out".
I think the term "selling out" is quite appropriate when an organization dedicated to helping out the free content movement "negotiates" to put its name on software like Google Earth (proprietary software used to distribute proprietary content).
That's probably the difference of opinion I have which you hostilly call "trolling", but if not feel free to point to which part it is.
