No matter how you count, I don't think you will see significant numbers. My guess it will be less than 0.1% overall. But, would be nice to count real number. > I take your point though it would be great to have more, I'm just not > personally convinced that a license change is what will change that > because I don't think the license is what that problem is.

Like get rid off closed bins, most serious next step to do. -- Erast _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
