hmm. interesting never thought you could interpret "open source" that way (stupid).How do these people get into positions where they can make a decision about what software to install and what not. I had the same problem an year back when the Grad Lab admin here a LSU refused to install OO(ofcourse citing no reason) on a particular machine that I used to work. I was pretty sure users like me did not have the rights to install software. But I was able to install it on my space on the same machine. The same thing happened with mozilla. The funny thing is its almost an year and still they haven't audited the system yet. Karthik
