I kinda sorta agree with you, however its not like people don't know the rules of commercial software: you pay for what you use. Unless there's some (massive) penalty for not paying for it people won't.

Having said that, the BSA has to really balance what it does or else we'll start reading hundreds of Ernie Ball stories.

Plus with a majority of business being ones of less than 50 employees the "Microsoft Tax" is readily seen. Personally I use RH 8.0 at work with Evolution and Open Office and there's nothing that I can't do. Well I can't spread SoBig.

I guess I need a little more info. I thought the BSA had no legal standing to "raid" a company. I thought that companies had to voluntarily let them in. I say that because we have sent them packing a couple of times.
