there is always a similarity i find in that behavior (the "not fully
understanding the implications for culture" one) happening in FLOSS
and in what happens in ecology, where the radicality of ecologic
practices (more on the ecosofic side) deos not come out from "trees
and trash" but from the notions of "interconnectedness".
