Someone mentioned that there was an article recently (like yesterday I
think, on freshmeat?) saying something about DeadRat plans to charge a
subscription fee for updates... I didn't read the article so I'm not sure
how serious it was. Anyone else see it? I'll ask my colleague later where he
found it..
Maybe if DeadRat didn't introduce so many daft root holes in the first
place... sigh. ;) (ok, a little trollish - I couldn't resist).
Cheers,
