No siree if u thought that freesoftware is going to give your business a free ride you are wrong. Free software gives you a free ride if you take the trouble of educating your self. All it costs is time.
What is wrong in libre software being simple point and click? We are not slaves of technology. We are the masters and it has to work for us.
Sure. Provide patches. If upstream does not accept the patches, fork 'em. If your install method gains more mind share, your fork will thrive.
This is how free software is supposed to work -- people scratching their own itches, and providing their solutions back to the community.
