If you think this is about what I want, you haven’t been reading any of my comments. This comes out of what the community commented in the meta thread, with a bit of my own wording on top to meet the requests. Also I’d like to know that so I can find or start a similar community where ppl who do use closed source tools can post questions. That isn’t promotional material and would have nothing to do with this rule, so I’m not sure what you’re driving at here.

Thank for the clarification. If you think this is about what I want, you haven’t been reading any of my comments. I have read them, all of them. Your wording “I think it makes sense to…” suggests you’re making a decision. It seems based on community input, but is nonetheless still your decision. As it should be. I don’t really have an opinion on the 10% rule, I don’t think anyone can help but make that an arbitrary number. I do, however, think it’s a mistake to lean heavily toward favoring FOSS here because, as I mentioned, there is nothing preventing FOSS applications from making money. Further, it is very difficult to find software that is 100% FOSS through and through. Ultimately, the line of what is FOSS and what isn’t is what will become a problem.
