when i was writing for linux.com, it was totally acceptable. ultimately, i 
think it's all wacktarded -- the entire acane debate. the only thing that 
ends up mattering is whether business gets it. as far as they're concerned: 
it's all the same thing. stuff billed as free that turns out not to be free 
at all. still a savings, but, at least in my company, they all feel ripped 
off, like they got duped. i really should write an article on this for 
linux -- the perils of stupid FOSS marketing trix or something.
