Because there's money in it, DUH! MS Office has a huge marketshare for Mac office apps.
You said 75%, I believe based on the distribution of projects at SourceForge. Now for the English lesson:
Main Entry: license
Function: transitive verb
1 a : to issue a license to b : to permit or authorize especially by formal license
2 : to give permission or consent to
Stallman/FSF holds the copyright to a relatively small number of open source projects (The FSF developer server shows 302 official GNU software titles, and among those there is a high likelihood that Stallman/FSF owns the copyright). Stallman can only license those projects. Other projects are licensed by their respective copyright holders.
Aww--I was gonna string him along for a little more. LOL!
There's nothing funny about you trying to protect radical leftists like Stallman. ~75% of all open source uses his license, which is based on his "manifesto", whether you want to keep defending him and the Chinese from the evil capitalists or not.
Hey--you got it correct on the first post after the lesson. I'm impressed.
Link to a specific post that shows I "protect", defend, or agree with Stallman. HINT: You can't do it because I haven't.
You owe me yet another apology for defamation.
Obviously you just did, just like always. Your claim you don't realize what you're doing and are somehow sleepwalking is even more sinister.
Where? Which post?
Take your pick shadowdude. The only person you're fooling is yourself.
That's what I thought--for all your blustering and accusing, you can't back up anything you say.
Wow you cant really be that obtuse..
lol
I'm simply pointing out some of the leftist causes you're so proud of you list them on your profile page. If you ever decide to instead join me in condemning them... Uh, nevermind, since you seem sworn to defend them at all costs.
So they can run their supercomputers on it. I know it's true, because GE told me so!
BTW, why is it your business to tell someone else what he can or cannot do with his copyrighted works? Are you the copyright god? Red Hat is not only happy to let them, but they're making loads of money doing it.
Looking ..... can't find ... Oh wait, he's an MCSE -- leftist!
You can call them whatever you want, but they are obviously leftists and leftist causes you support. Unashamedly, and endlessly.
Nobody is making loads of money off Linux, they're making peanuts compared to what Unix previously brought in. And that big government software you love so much, you know the core supercomputer software NASA gave away to every communist country, for free? We don't even get a thanks for that, but you'd gladly have our tax dollars build even more stuff to give away if you could.
MCSE? LOL, that guy has been running around for months claiming all Windows 2000 support already ended, when the truth is we'll keep getting security patches till 2010! The only thing that guy has any believable credentials in are BS.
Easy mistake, depending on clarification of meaning. Mainstream support for all versions of Windows 2000 was retired last year for the United States. This is a fact you cannot dispute.
