 Well, first of all, you're neither the official Linspire spokesperson,
 nor the echo's resident moralist.

 I'm quite sure that Linspire is well aware of the business implications
 of what it is doing, and feels that its strategy is prudent.

 Secondly, your analogy is a totally rediculous attempt to reinforce
 projecting your own prejudices on others.

 Hey, if you choose to support Open Source, you're to be commended,
 but don't suggest those that use perfectly legitimate avenues to
 avoid that support are worthy of castigation.

 That opinion is itself morally reprehensible.
