Re: you obviously dont get the first thing about the GPL

You are funny. At least I get a good laugh out of your stuff. Thanks. :-)

1. Nobody pays for Outlook, they pay for Outlook+Exchange groupware solution. People dont pay for software, they pay for solutions. Please explain to me the solution Evolution provides that other F/OSS email clients dont.

Are you nuts? Outlook is not just an Exchange server client. It is a pop3/imap client, it can act as a standalone contact manager & calendaring solution. I know several people who have paid cash for it and many companies who prefer to use it as a mail client and calendaring solution who don't even know what Exchange Server is. If no one buys Outlook, then explain this. There are several Linux products that can do most of what Evo does, but name one other free option that exists which can do all that Evo does in one package. There isn't anything. And for what it does, people will pay if it were to go closed source, which it wont. You or I might not pay, but many will. Bet on that.

Blah, blah, blah. It's not my bet, i don't need to call. If you want to find out who I am, it's not terribly difficult - need instructions? Look at the header of my posts, follow link.

If you'd like to discuss perpetuity, let's go back and examine the majority of your uninformed and combative posts. I think we would find a pattern that hasn't changed and likely wont, so I wont waste any more time on this today. Thank you, drive through. :-)

I don't know who this Ralph is and don't care.

I also don't know where you get these dillusions that everyone is picking on you, but if that much is true, consider the things you have said.

Cheers,

Erick
