Re:The real problem with Shareware on Linux

This is slightly off-topic, but I recently got a Programmer's Paradise catalog in the mail (they are a reseller of software tools and server products to software companies, programmers, and administrators). One thing I noticed was that the Linux software section had vanished completely from this edition. About the only mention of Linux were perfunctory listings of the Red Hat and SuSE distros in a classifieds-type section in the back. In other words, this software reseller is apparently no longer convinced there is money to be made selling products for Linux.
