I mean it. Now. This licensing issue further strengthens my belief that in becoming a Java programmer I am doing the right thing. I dont want to fight the OS wars, the licensing wars, et al, ad nauseum. I want to use linux, maybe make a small contribution to it as a personal choice. I wish to write my code there and let it 'just run' on any lame box some user wants to have in front of him. I wish cygnus and the other developers who contribute freely to this effort the best of luck. I feel that the shell and the command line tools are extremely useful for those of us who dont care to use right click, pull-down, select button, blah-blah-blah type interfaces when we are forced, in the course of events, to have to drive one these abominations. However, for development, Im going to try to make it Java and chinga Bill$.
