Not that you care, anyway, right? Not according to your comments from just 11 days ago, where you said if it's your property, you can do what you want with it. Don't tell me you're going to go back on those words like you just did on "using what works best for you" too?

I support the rights of the owners of the property to do with it as they please within the law. If I wish to distribute my code using the GPL license, it's my right. If I choose the BSD license, that it also my right. If I sell binaries only, that, too is my right. There is nothing wrong - legally - with MS doing business with Viet Nam. I would note that it puts MS on the same moral plane as any linux vendor who does business with totalitarian regimes.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you buy MS products when they engage in similar practices as linux vendors when it comes to dealing with the axis of evil?
