Now that says a lot about you. I put my money where my mouth is, and did buy the boxes (until now). Even if I had downloaded the software before. For me that is a question of respect. Respect of the immense work these nice folks at SuSE had done, and the time and money their good job has saved me. again and again. It's up to you to just take and never give back, but it says a lot about your attitude. > I will not look wether this is a good deal for OSS, what I am interested > is that it is not a bad one and nothing is pointing in that direction, Well, many disagree with that statement, me included. > exept FUD coming from the OSS and Linux front itself. Just because it is not what _you_ think, it can still be a quite realistic view of the world. IMHO this deal is bad for OSS and Linux, and there are many valid (and some invalid) reasons posted here (and elsewhere) explaining that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
