And your point is what, exactly? Public interest groups often hire interns and people just starting out in the profession. The group gets relatively cheap labor, and the employee gets experience. For all your wailing and gnashing of teeth, it isn't even as if these distributors are trying to hide some great secret that they've incorporated into their software. They're just too lazy to comply with the license until someone gets their attention with a two-by-four. When you do business, there's a bunch of stuff you just have to do - filings, taxes, bills, and so on. Honoring software licenses is one of them. These are the same kind of companies that get raided by the BSA and are discovered to be using illegal copies of non-free software. It's a mindset. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
