Re: California may adopt OpenDocument
... for California to consider restricting software functionality and taking a formal position antagonistic to making money from software.

California doesn't make money from selling software, so if it's antagonistic it would be to spending money on software. No?

What you said is like saying you're antagonistic to making money from cable TV, right?

So, if you are not, then how is California? And if you are, then why is selling software different than selling cable TV?



happy
