I think that you are wrong here. 1)Smirf support options that Fruit does not support like FRC so the release of Fruit does not destroy any hope to make Smirf commercial. 2)I also think that it is possible that programmers of inferior commercial programs relative to fruit may continue to earn money for the following reasons: a)Not everybody heard about fruit b)People may be interested in buying some new software that is not the strongest. 3)It is possible that future smirf will be better than fruit. > >So the motivation to argue against GPL et simil. is so obvious >that one really has to be surprised by the fact that you dont feel >completely ridiculous to repeat your accusations of cheating and all the boring >rest again and again. > >regards >Murano I think that it can be also motivation of people who do not work for commercial projects. People who care about justice can also think that it is unfair that people work hard to make a commercial program and some free programs prevent them to earn money. Uri
