	I'm afraid you lost me totally here, Les.  I was following you all the
way (since I've heard the exact same words SO many times over the years)
up until this part.  How did you come to the idea that the GPL is
helping keep MS a monopoly and in business?  That's like saying taking
arsenic will help you live longer.  Everything else you argued has merit
and is reasonable.  This one, though, is like something out of a deep
Opium dream.
