Just to be clear... I'm talking about standalone projects. Obviously addons/plugins and the like are exempt. I'm thinking of Toxaris here (who I wouldn't want to offend with my previous post). Clearly his Word addon can't be cross-platform; and that doesn't change its value (to me and others).

My point is: write code that will compile on as many platforms as possible. Test on as many platforms as possible and provide as many binaries as possible (along with the source) for those who have no interest in compiling. Let the user worry about whether or not it all fits their personal ideological preferences. That's my definition of "open." Not excluding anyone, for any reason.
