Yeah, and when the cretins
<br>become support experts on your
<br>source and binaries, then you
<br>are rubbed out of the running.
<br>
<br>DO NOT SUPPORT THE GPL.
<br>
<br>It is a silly written document.
<br>
<br>Switch to the Berkley license.
<br>
<br>Support your local FSF authors!
<br>
<br>The expectation of high quality
<br>for free... that is the problem
<br>of their perceptions. And yes,
<br>I do need to read my C++ book
<br>more often.
