I've read it. Nothing prescribes a foss philosophy outside of Linux itself. Or for that matter a dickhead attitude to those who don't subscribe to one.

Linux doesnt stand for anything. Something being foss just means it's accessible.

Who on the house floor actually occupies this position. It's only rhetoric used in debate netween regular people.

If you tell the firefighter to start saving dogs because you love them and they institute a policy of saving all animals in response everyone wins, regardless of motivation. You can do both, this isn't a zero sum game.

This doesn't stop anything though again. Unless you tax them out of business, they will still be a monopoly and will fix prices for their profit. Less profit is still profit.

If you tax them too high they will either seek recourse via illegally bribing politicians (or "lobbying") to have those taxes removed, or monopolise with legally distinct businesses where wealth is concentrated in the few regardless.

It's a fantasy though. An extremely competitive market would be nice, but in reality it would be a race to the bottom and those who started with more cash would win out, buy up or starve the competition and monopolise, giving them the extra space to be lazy and pass on profits to their shareholders, who dictate increased prices to increase their margins.

Unless you can point to an animal that destruction is actively supported by aboriginal people on the basis of culture, this is a straw man argument.

Yep, there's eligibility requirements, but in practice that means just lie about a reasonable one for you.

There can never be enough ways to force parliament to respond to an issue, but they could of course let it sit in the gazette and never respond to it. It's my hope though that the high court will weigh on this and say that response is a requirement to fulfill the spirit of the amendment.
