Hardly. It's not reasonable to expect someone with a valid publishing need that includes some sort of access control to go to a commercial OS or commercial software to fulfill those needs.
Why is that not reasonable? He is clearly trying to protect his material, probably to protect a commercial interest in the material. Why should a commercial need not be met with commercial software? (Not that the need might not be met with FOSS tools.) Sort of reminds me of the MySQL license. Free for use on Linux, but requires a paid license on Windows. Not totally unreasonable. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
