Wait, are you implying that you're gotten polite answers here before?
Are we talking about the same mailing list?
Joking aside, people have always (for varying definitions of "always")
asked "off-topic" (that is, non-Linux-related) questions, with various
amounts of politeness coming back to them. Defining our list/group as a
GNU/Linux-centric list doesn't, to me, exclude non-GNU software from our
discussions. It just serves as a reminder/acknowledgment of where a lot
of the "Linux" core (like, say, coreutils!) originates from.
And even if it did exclude non-GNU software somehow, hell, people have
asked Windows questions on this list and lived to see the next day.
(FWIW, my general test for "is this off-topic software?" has always
been "will it compile under Linux?" Although I should probably say
GNU/Linux there, because I think we all know where GCC comes from.)
