stretched meaning of fair play. Some licenses forbid software usage in order to compare it with competing products?! If you ask where you can find one example check your Linux system for proprietary licenses.
One example for you: Microsoft's license for C# forbids such comparisons. For example, you're not allowed to post benchmarks comparing the speed of Mono's C# to MS's C#. Stupid, but true.
There is more, and example is on any SUSE Linux box, that has installed Flash player. I hope that this posting didn't broke my license :-) Do I have it installed, yes, but never since I have seen the change in license. -- Regards, Rajko. Visit http://en.opensuse.org/MiniSUSE
