Why do you continue to be so thick? The same problem exists for your beloved example of Microsoft. They would have the exact same problem when they try to go to third parties to buy patents to include in their software. So, are there things that aren't for sale to GPL? Yes. Are there things that aren't for sale to Microsoft? Yes. So again, you refuse to understand the very simple point that was being made in my response and dream up some stupid bullshit about some things not being for sale. You really need to take a breath and rethink some of your biases. > Show me your business plan. What the hell are you talking about? Sean
