You should be aware that P&C have their own Linux organization that
strangely got announced at the same time as Hamakor, and even more strangely
has a non-empty intersection with Hamakor. I (and probably many other
people here) have no plans to become a member of their commercial organization,
but I do plan to become Hamakor member (is there a cool membership card?
secret decoder ring? :)).
So Hamakor and P&C's thing are seperate entities not to be confused, except
by idiots in the media (but they would also confuse Hamakor with Bill Gates'
fan club...)
P&C were able to seduce me (and a number of other people on this list) with
a nice offer to speak at their conference, but this doesn't mean I "sold
out", "changed my politics", or whatever. In fact, I found it kind of
interesting that they don't mind to give such a large platform (probably
about half of their conference) to some of the more values-oriented free
software developers that might scare off their commercial interests...
