mr_steveI've got real bad splices in the basement, the line is just barely clear enough to stay synced... except when the phone rings03:15

rlaagerTakyoji: I doubt it. I'd imagine it's all a cost consideration. Right now, they see GPL software as being absolutely free (as in cost), but they're violating the license.08:30
rlaagerOnce they realize that complying with the GPL is almost free (putting source code on your website and a note in the manual is pretty cheap) and not following it is costly (because of SFLC lawsuits), I think they'll choose to comply, which will still be cheaper than writing something from scratch or using other options.08:30
rlaagerThen everyone gets what they want.08:30
