Well - as long as I don't have the ressource to intiate a private invesgation on each developer I'm forced to use the same ratings on everyone. ;) I - in fact - see no reason to trust or mistrust anyone of those without making personal experiences with them. Sadly, I cannot rate the trustworhy of someone just by looking at his homepage or programs. > I trust Solaris more than Linux and I trust Linux more than Microsoft. Solaris I an operating system suite, Linux a Kernel of an os, Microsoft a company. Have you ever thought of comparing compareable items? ;) To be honest, I personally see now reason to mistrust Alan, Linus and his crew more or less than the Sun crew. But I absolutly mistrust companies how try to spy me ;) If you decide to trust Sun more than open source products it is you decsion and I respect it. Whether open source is more trusthworthy or not are one of the flamewars runnig in every community, group or whatssoever from time to time, but I don't think, that we shall bore the readers of this list with these kinds of religous wars ;) Anyway - to go back the topic (at least one step ;) - I'd like to know you opinion how vcdimager violates the "Urheberrecht" (German version of the Copyright or DMCA ;) (which passages exactly). This might be interesting for German readers using or planing to use it. I (personally) also would like to know, why you haven't sued suse if they are vialotating the GPL by using a non marked modified version of your programs or which � are you talking about?
