OK, but how could a guy like Bushell make a living if he released under GPL? 
And if he can't make a living doing this full time we wouldn't have 
BibleWorks. My point is that while I use much OSS and linux and do not even 
dual boot (I do run Win4Lin), I just can see the idea that the world should 
only have OSS. That is my point.

Thanks for the reply.
