You paid for the Ford. Suppose Ford offered to give you the car but said if you take it then you can't go work at GM because this car is ahead of their technology. See the difference? It's one thing if you plunked your money down and took the standard license or a negotiated license. You are getting an expensive product and not paying any money for it. The payment is the terms you agree to in the license and the obligations of those terms. That payment may be unacceptable to you, which is your choice. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitkeeper.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
