Hey, instead of just hurling insults, how about giving some examples.  
I have one: There are many companies about (including this one) that
are moving to include the Usenet software in their libraries.  Why?
Well, it gives a noticeable added value to the product.  No more reason
is needed.

In some cases, Usenet is replacing a proprietary package.

As for flames about profiteering from a PD product, well, it's the
package that is sold, not the individual programs.  What the customer
buys is the convenience of not having to unpackage the mod.sources
files, do all the configuring, debug a few SEGMENTATION FAULTs, and
so on.  It could be well worth a little extra money (if you have the
sense not to accept most of the newsgroups. :-)

Have you seen the growing list of vendors that are announcing support
for Posix?

'Nuf said.
