but imagine what will happen if you write a good opensource program like that. if it will be good and competitive, pretty soon you will have customers wanting to install it. you can charge them for it, you can charge them for documentation, for installation and for support. the fact that it will be open source won't mean it can't be big business. ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
