It is a philosophical issue. As a part time member if the Linux developer community, I am an active open source supporter and try to avoid using closed source software, I occasionally (as currently) use Windows but only running inside a virtual machine on top of a Linux os. The whole framework of wikia and wikipedia runs on top of the open source WikiMedia framework https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki, therefore I would higly oppose the use of closed source software in a open environment. It's against the philosophical principles of wikipedia. Most Wiki bots are open source (I think it is even requiered) and licensed under GNU, so it is probably fine. What's the name of the bot ? I figure out the rest.
