Don - an interesting can o' worms Bruce opened, eh?

I find Bruce's argument interesting but one fact makes the
debate somewhat moot: Linux doesn't need a FreeBSD emulator.
Until it does most will use Linux - and GPL.

I think Stallman goes too far with calling Ousterhout a `parasite'
but I nonetheless can't help but suppress a grin as I write this.
(Trying desperately to avoid a bad pun about being tickled...and
failing! ;-)

Maybe I should get a quote for some of your candles so I can
do a purchase order?
