AFAIK VMWare has always been commercial (pay) software, yet it's in the ports collection. I'm not complaining, but what's up with that? Also, there is a note on VMWare's web site stating "On Dec. 4 our company will discontinue the current hobbyist pricing and begin charging a standard $299 fee..." Will this policy change on their part have any effect on VMWare's existence as a port? Thanks. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org [1] Bus error netscape To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
