I'm sorry, Larry, but I'm giving up on debating with you. You have no balanced perspective and are little more that an one-dimensional religious zealot with a single cause to preach. I had hoped it might be otherwise since I value the contributions you've made to the free software world (CVS, etc) and thought we might have a CONSTRUCTIVE debate. Instead, I get this bird on the other end squawking "GPL! GPL!" in response to anything I say. How disappointing. I don't even get it this badly from RMS! Jordan
