Again a hypothetical situation. How many customers are seriously alert? If this had been the case do you think M$ EULA would have survived 25 years in industry? This means almost 90% of end users of IT related products are not worthy. I believe we as lug also have to act as consumer rights protection activist to a certain extent and we do act so. Whenever we are making peple aware of benifits of open source products, we do make users aware of the pit falls of EULA and other hidden costs associated with properitary software. (I am not using word customer here as i find it to be narrow in context) regards VK Engineers normally have problem with every solution. If not they have a solution in search of a problem. http://creative.linux-delhi.org Disclaimer The facts expressed here belong to everybody, the opinions to me.
