But that's not "someone has to budge". I'm fine with you sticking to GPL - but your statement was a bit of a contradiction. > it is by far my strongest choice.

We don't aim to convince anyone. If you like BSD, join Cosmos. If you like GPL, join SharpOS. Pretty simple IMO. > Yes, we are.

It doesn't matter if Windows is 90% or 50%.. I think we can all agree Windows is huge - calling it a "Select group of people" is not accurate. Select group of people implies controlled and limited, neither of which is accurate. Java is controlled by a select few companies. Windows is controlled by an exclusive one. Windows USERS are not a select group of users. > Are things like that too hard for you?

We don't support Linux right now, we are upfront about that. You use Linux. That's your choice, its not my place to tell you what to use or not. But to say that because we don't support Linux we are limited to a "select group" is disingenuous. That's like an hybrid car owner saying that "only a select group of car owners can obtain refills at most of the worlds petrol stations" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
