You can do it if you like, but note that this sort of change would do nothing to advance the free world. Thus, how about porting yourself to GNU/Linux, and writing improvements that benefit GNU/Linux? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
