I agree.  The W3C is a highly-reputed standards body which carries a lot
of weight in The Real World.  This blanket rule coincides poorly with the
goal of impressing corporations with the use of free software.

I guess I won't be submitting MindSpring's name to opensource.org.
Did you know that we were in the top .1% of all US stocks last year in
terms of market performance, and we run almost exclusively on open-source
software?  Woops, I mean free software.
