Actualy I was thinking more along the lines of making them (the vendors) aware that some of their sales/downloads were being used on FreeBSD. Something like giving the person installing a port an opportunity to send a message to the vendor saying that they were trying the Linux version under FreeBSD's emulation. Or maybe even a web page that allowed the user to register the fact they are using (or intend to) a Linux binary under emulation and then forward this info to the vendor at regular intervals. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
