Indeed, I recently installed Linux and BeOS ont my PC, and they
obviously weren't pirated. Neither is the software that I'm running
on it.

If I think about it. I bet if we all totalled up the software we have
on out Miggy's, I bet all of us are running freeware, shareware,
giftware, etc more than commercial software.

The question is though is that our loss?

MUI, MCP, Birdie, Toolmanager, YAM - all non-commercial and
incredibly popular.

Compare it to MS Office, Windows - all commercial, hated and crap.
