they don't have to do anything, but they can if they want.

I really don't want this to be about Microsoft, or any other proprietary
software vendor. It is about all the great Free software that is
available that people need to know about so they can save money doing
the things they already do, and do more for less. "Bill" has no surname
and no specific company affiliation, it isn't about "Bill" any more than
the British gas selloff was about "Sid".
