I have no problem accepting shareware for sunsite. I probably won't use it
myself, unless its something pretty spectacular. But, i think its
important to give all distributing schemes a chance.
Connected to this thread, I think an important use for Linux will be as
bundled operating system for special purpose software.
Some company has already announce that they were porting their Voicemail
system to Linux. Rather than have to sell SCO or Xenix (as they had been)
they will just sell the Voicmeail system and kick Linux in for free.
As someone commented earlier: do this for a network analyzer and youre in
business. :)
