The point was about making the software available for free, under
whatever license, even binary-only.  IMHO people who refuse to make
their defunct products available for free, even as an example of how
to do or not do things, should re-examine their own moral position
before taking stands on GPL vs non-GPL issues.

Of course, I was talking about Bill Gates all this time, so don't
accuse me of flaming anyone, OK?  *taking leaf out of others' books
