Mail clients in Linux

[Steve Scotten]

Two points:

There's no reason you can't *sell* Open Source software. Even the rabid folks
(Stallman) endorse such a practice.

There's no reason that PMMail wouldn't sell as closed, proprietary software. You
do Linux users around the world a disservice by painting them (us) as a bunch of
skinflints who refuse to pay for products. And there are at least a hundred
times as many Linux users as OS/2 users. (no I don't have numbers to back that
up, but it's a conservative estimate IMO)
