Mandrake Policy Change Angers Users

Posted by michael on from the seasons-change dept.

phalse phace writes "Yahoo! News is carrying a ZDNet News article which reveals that Mandrake has decided to change its policy regarding its Mandrake Club. Previously, Mandrake stated that all membership levels would enjoy the same benefits. But since Mandrake Linux 8.2 will include StarOffice 6.0 and Sun is charging for it, they decided to only allow the download of SO 6.0 to Silver members and higher."

    Maybe those who donated over $60 don't want to see part of their money go to Sun. Did Mandrake think about that? Apparently not.
