I also think quality is > very important to people's arguments. I have never said all software should be Open source or free in some way. I guess most corporate software won't and shouldn't. What I'm saying is that I don't see why John Doe should be milked so that Billy the Goat gets fatter and fatter from his poor software. He and others need a incentive to make something better to stay in business. To offer better support for the software. So much time out of the working day is wasted with different problems or errors in the software to keep other from being effective in their work. -- �I think fish is nice, but then I think that rain is wet.
