I have to point out that our goal is not precisely growth. Our goal is to liberate cyber-space. Now that does mean liberating all the users of computers. We hope eventually they all switch to free software, but we shouldn't take mere success as our goal, that's missing the ultimate point. But if I take this to mean &ldquo;what is holding back the spread of free software&rdquo;. Well partly at this point it is inertia, social inertia. Lots of people have learnt to use windows. And they haven't yet learned to use GNU/Linux. It is no longer very hard to learn GNU/Linux, 5 years ago it was hard, now it is not. But still, it is more than zero.
