I feel exactly the same way. They've employed some hackers over the past
few years that are passionate about Free Software. I wonder what their
opinions are.

for a while now. I think this seemed like a great idea in the boardroom
amongst those who still don't get what Free Software is about.

I'm really disappointed :(
