A saying involving mouths of gift horses springs to mind about now...
If only Bell Labs would only let us pay for Plan9 (and I for one paid for
my first copy, and was happy to do so), maybe they would have
an incentive to worry about its commercial use...
I like Plan9 (and Unix) because of good design and source availability,
not because I can get them free. I avoid Windows, not because it is
commercial, but because there is no source and it is rubbish. Not that I
am complaining about being forced to keep my money..
But as long as Plan9 makes no money for the labs, they really have no
business wasting shareholders money promoting it or worrying about
commercial acceptance (potentially by competitors)...
For now, I don't think anyone would complain if this discussion went
off line...

DigbyT
