ok maybe i said it wrong. I didn't mean saying it is bad at all. Just
saying this a temporary level on the way to the even better one. I meant
something like an apprenticeship. And most business go for short term or
temporary all the time, thats why why we have most of the problems in
the first place IMO.
I think there is a need for a pure version, so it can't get corrupted
cause of interpretations. But if just go for all, it will be a long way
to get something from it. As a starting catalysator we could use a
non-pure version. This has to be limited in time, otherwise most of the
companys go just for it.

I think the companies that surpass the non-pure version will
sufficiently de-value the non-pure version, and the potential to do
this will attract companies to obtain pure certification.<br>
<br>
If required, lets add sufficient financial penalties ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
membership fees for the non-pure version to fund campaigns and
incentives for those who would become pure.<br>
<br>
We do need a pure version, but FSF aims are gained more by existing
companies being made pure, so we ought to chose a model that will tend
towards this behaviour, I realse that we are discussing the best way to
do this.<br>
