        RedHat supports Gnome vs KDE because Gnome is GPLd.  GNU would
require a GPLd source code.  We fall under Berkeley's CopyRight, not GPLs
CopyLeft, and we're quite happy with that...

        As for '2 months' of Vadim...its more difficult for 1
person/company to pay for '2 months' of his time (or Bruce's or Thomas' or
Byron's, or...) then it would be for 10 ppl to share that financing...

        I'm working on something that might make that a reality, hopefully
have something to "announce" early next week...
