(Shrug.)
OK, but you're the one who gets to explain to Richard
Stallman why the money from the FSF is being used to fund
development of a Microsoft Windows driver!
Richard Stallman thinks that the more free software we have, the
better, even when the free software runs on Windows. For example, the
FSF is selling "GNU Software for MS-Windows and MS-DOS and Compatible
Systems" at http://www.gnu.org/doc/windows.html
I remind you that anything under a free license is totally free, even
when it is dual-licensed under something else.
