You're assuming that users have a free choice as to what they install. Some sites actually have policies about what software they'll allow on their systems. When it comes to determining those policies, general-purpose interpreted languages get a rougher ride than most. Applications which bundle private copies of such get an even rougher ride, if they don't simply get rejected out of hand. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
