But the point is most of them make money from Technical Support and System repairs - they don't make money from software sales. They are purchasing site licences for maybe £10 per license as apose to charging customers £100 or more. As you say the best way to say is Firght piracy use openSUSE - but the problem is people expect windows and don't expect to pay so we still have the problem on both counts. How to convince them that selling site licences effectively amounts to piracy? -- Kind Regards Stuart Tanner Bolton Linux 24 Vincent Street Bolton BL1 4SA Tel: +44(0)1204 410474 Mob: +44(0)7868 028028 www.bolin.org.uk Distributing openSUSE in the UK Registered Linux User: 529825 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
