I still couldn't look at the source code and learn from it - I'd still have to worry about saving stuff using secret file formats - and still have to trust that MS was as interested in being fair to me. $0 isn't the same as Free. And OSS has everything I need - I'm not missing out on anything by using it. So, I wouldn't switch. > How much of an impact would this have on peoples use of OSS? I guess it'd keep a lot of people from trying OSS in the first place, and slow its acceptance (business, education, governments, ...). But OSS would stick around.
