During the course of this thread, many members raised several issues -
RamanP pointed to portions in the MS license in reply to the `go sue'
approach, and many other members raised issues pointing to the
disadvantages in using proprietary software, for which there have been
no replies till date and they remain substantially unanswered. If the
advocates of proprietary software have been searching for answers in
their favour, and failed to find any, then they have already taken the
first right step, by joining this list and I sincerely wish and bless
them to soon become full fledged free software users. It is better to
stop cringing and crying in the darkness and seek light. Free software
gives the freedom to free the mind. It is never too late to whole
heartedly join the movement to work towards better programs, greater
freedom and profits for all :)
