Not sure if the above is a rhetorical question, but my take is that Apple is very open where they benefit from being open, and very closed where they benefit from being closed. Everything I do is completely open, and everything I do is on Apple's devices, using a lot of software that Apple has had some hand in putting together or packaging or distributing. Comparing ESRI to Apple (or Microsoft) is hard because of scale and mix of product lines. ESRI is indeed very supportive of education, although I wouldn't have used their university site licenses as indicative of that stance. Their bread and butter is software licenses, and they will and should to whatever they can to protect it. -- Puneet Kishor _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
