I don't care whether it's a technical economics term or a martian politics term. You used it about GPL'd programs. I still want to know how Red Hat isn't part of the market. Right now your economic theory resembles a map that disagrees with the terrain. I still hope to get an enlightening explanation, but if I don't get one I'm likely to trust reality and conclude that the map is wrong. -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD omb jor ers @sv ge. r o.b n.p son eri nu
