that's cause linus is a greedy lintard. now that a couple people finally use this worthless os it's his chance to make a few measly dollars. linus is a 3rd rate gates wannabe. if he was really worried bout protecting his retarded trademark he'd charge a nominal fee of $1 and deny applicants he doesn't like. his true colors finally show. he's a greedy punk like the rest of them. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
