Har. As if. I think assimilating commonly available code into their products, and thereby commoditizing them, is the farthest thing from the MS mindset. Otherwise NT Servers would run SAMBA.

That is understandable, but I'd like you to notice something. If that horrible thought becomes true, your code is not devalued in anyway. By choosing the GNU license, though, it instantly lose it's value for many potential applications. -- Daniel C. sobral dcs@newsguy.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
