Adobe's approach was skewed. Instead of just testing under the condition that Linux would be _added_ as a 3rd port to their _existing_ FrameMaker for UNIX product, they tested under the condition that the Linux port would be a _new_ product, FrameMaker for Linux. > Besides, where possible, I want to use only GPL software.
