In retrospect I see that my post was badly worded, and quite easily
misunderstood as a "flame". I apologize for this. The "you" in the
above paragraph was meant to refer to the general public, not you
in particular, Richard.

My assumptions were that linux licenses are cheap because they are aimed
at the "private" market, while workstation licenses are aimed at the
"professional" market. Whether this is sensible given the current
developments is questionable, though. I just wanted to point out that
everyone should be careful not to abuse (and thereby risk loosing) the
cheap "private" licenses, even though they might be identical.

Regards,

Stein Vidar Haugan
