Feel free to send to ajohansson@xxxxxxxxxx instead (or log on to groupwise
messenger some time). I will try to find out what's wrong with the provo name

Well, the price for SLES and NLD is for the support and security patch
services. The product itself can be downloaded at no charge.
I don't know how much it would cost to license it. Linspire could be using it
as a loss leader to get people to subscribe to their service. I also have no
clue how far it's taken them. The mere fact that they're doing it doesn't
mean it's working.
But I'd like to be clear about one thing here, I am in favour of including a
licensed player in the box, as long as the price is right. I have been saying
that in public for a long time. All I'm saying is that we need to find out
how much it would cost, and show that people are willing to pay that extra
price. I think voices from customers would speak loudest, in this case.
