Whew! > Much of the "support" for GPLed works from named firms is VERY expensive. The notion of "support" of GPLed works, kind of reminds me of the kind of "support" that one gets from a bicycle without a seat. :-). In some ways, the "support" is alot less than you want, but in the ways that you don't want, it is alot more :-). Also, support firms often embargo GPLed works, unless you pay for the "support." -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@iquest.net | it makes one look stupid jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
