To *really* loosely quote Michael Meeks - the Ximian guy who spoke at
Decembers GLLUG meeting - (and apologies to MM if I do mis-quote him) the
reason Ximian licence for money the connector is because the potential
market have already bought into proprietary software by installing
Exchange.

I'd prefer to see a GPL'd version though so other developers could write
more *nix solutions for Exchange to help oust Outlook.
