They could have a million things that were opensource and one closed
source product but it still wouldn't matter. I'm not against closed
source software, all I ask is that you practice what you preach. To
him, opensource is(was) a religion, and yet still he refuses to
opensource every bit of his software. 'Nuff said. This is way
off-topic anyhow.

Who's telling people what to like? AFAICT, Jim and I were having an
exchange of opinions. What you do with those opinions is entirely up
to you. I'm having fun, aren't you?
