To be fair, we're now some way from your original comment. We've gone
from "rival companies copying GPL'd programs is exactly what FIC want"
to "rival companies wouldn't be *able* to copy GPL'd programs because
the porting cost would be prohibitive". The first comment I disagreed
with, the second I'm in full agreement. And I'm glad we talked it over!
