I think maybe I lost the context, because this doesn't make sense to
me. Do you mean to imply that it is "unfair" for commercial vendors to
implement compilers for Fortran, which is a standard? Seems like the
same kind of thing to me.
Hmm. Maybe you were just talking about listing them side-by-side as
comparable in a list of products. I slightly lost the context of the
quote, but I seem to recall that Ian was doing something like that.
That makes a more sense to me, but I still disagree. Free vs commercial
is sometimes an important factor, but other times it is not. I don't
see that it is mandatory that it be an organizational section in any
list.
