[openbeos] Re: EULA

Yes, I, and everyone else are aware of our financial problems. I just 
figured this story would be a nice motivation :) Anyway, the OpenBeOS 
vs BeOS NG issue is kinda like Unix vs Linux. Unix costs money, Linux 
doesnt. Plus from what I've heard YellowTAB is interested in selling 
OpenBeOS based distributions. So there's another way to make money and 
thus "buy time".

Personally, I'm quite interested in buying BeOS NG.
