Anyway, enough ranting to the preachers, the answer to the question of what is the makerspace's stance towards free software*, is: positive, but not dedicated due to baggage even at this early stage and in need of guidance either way (convinced they should commit or not, that is).
I'm an idealogue about free software, and I say that don't bother with the issue unless some founder is also an idealogue and committed to the cause. It goes beyond user rights, as you mention, but about community and aesthetics. Hence, if you don't have someone fostering the community, there isn't much use and people will be seen as either fakes (wanting business) or false prophets. Marxos
