So free is great, but what is more important in the tooling and
services that help you develop?  Is it freedom to some arbitrary

more than if I can get the source code to the issue tracker that my
open source project uses.

I do not particularly want to say this, but I couldn't resist wondering
how the above "The best tool for the job, be it libre or commercial"
compares with what Linus would have had in his mind when the kernel
project decided to use BitKeeper.
