Unity is not just about games, but more generally about 3D application development. And with Unity Web Player we even got a new closed source browser plugin that starts competing with Flash. I don't care about closed source games (generally I think it increases my freedom to have those compared to not having them at all - kind of like fun manacles which increase choice of action in some moments despite being used to restrict movement). But I do care about the base of software on which other software depends no longer being free and am a little worried about yet another proprietary browser plugin gaining popularity when flash is finally starting to get replaced by html.


To be fair, if that's going to happen, it's going to happen if Unity is on Linux or not, Thus it's better to have it on Linux I figure.


Fair point.
