Please. People have to eat. If it gets the job done then $50 a seat per year is not bad at all. Consider that a couple hours of downtime costs more than the $50 per seat per year and it looks like a good deal. Don't be cheap. Now I'm not saying you should buy from Sun but if your using the software you should find someway to contribute back. Either by developing or paying a company that hires Linux hackers. Don't be cheap. Even RMS said that if your going to go through the trouble of distributing your sources you might as well get payed for it. And he did when he distributed his GNU tools for $150 a pop. People have to get out of their heads that Linux is free as in beer. It is lowcost but somewhere down the line a developer needs to survive.
