And here they've come out with one.... I saw somebody refer to "Brett" on one of the WINE discussion boards and wondered if they were talking about you. I guess I should have known you wouldn't miss a chance to do battle with someone ready to embrace the LGPL. :-) Anyway, I thought it was odd too that Codeweavers had a "working" commercial product based on an Open Source codebase that didn't work quite as well despite the fact that they claimed to submit numerous improvements to the Open Source version. How the heck does that work? << Chip Morton >> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
