Hi: The part I like best, is where ADTI states the plight of our government
should it choose to GPL its' software needs. The ADTI says, in effect, the
government would be excluding competition and limiting vendors. Well, in
response, if the government chooses GPL'd software as the way to go, we
instantly increase the vendors about a gazillion-fold, bringing in every
one-man shop to bid on the contracts. Even better, all the proprietary
vendors would be able to compete on "equal footing" as-it-were. Weird stuff,
these idiots profess.
Thanks,
Tom
