Does Red Hat require users to give a lot of money to the Linux community for all their hard work?
I never said the SCCA should require money for the use of their rulebook. I just said the club could take the initiative to help support it. Without paying customers Red Hat would have never gotten where they are, you know. Sure, plenty of people use it for free, but they have no more right to complain about it than non-SCCA members have to complain about the SCCA rules, either.
Unfortunately, writing rules for racing and writing software aren't directly analogous. That said, a TH experiment in doing rules in a different way would be fun. I might be part of the way SCCA does it now, but that doesn't mean I don't think there's a better way out there...
