[Quoted] You are right Shakespeare

[Quoted] [Quoted] I'd like a version of Oracle free for personal and non-commercial use ;-))

Seriously, how could one trust a software company knowing that they have got
absolutely no revenue channel ? Don't you agree ?

I am not one who believes much in free programs or open source purity. Certainly there are whorty persons who genuinely believe in such ideals and provide a good service to the humanity, even in ethical terms, but, especially in my country, when one talks about open source it's because they not have got a reliable product and it's relatively easier to sell services here, instead of products. Also because often there are budget constraints on the latter.

Do not know if in the USA there is a similar feeling (?). I hope not.
