(sigh). Just so no one else points this out in more inflamatory way,
I'll note here that the meer fact that the source code is what is being
sold does not make it Open Sourced. That being said, I think everyone
here can understand the overall point you are making below.

That probably is in fact the case. However, "gratis" without "libre" is
still going to depress usage more than a completely free solution. I
find these days that I don't download and use *any* software that I
can't in good concience use as long as I want (unless I'm willing to
pay for it). That means I don't use "shareware" or "trial" software. If
its an issue of price or my concience, I'll be sending another couple
hundred bucks to Microsoft (or write it myself).
