    From the licence attached with Rotor:

    "You may not use or distribute this Software or any derivative works in any form for commercial purposes."

    Rotor on Linux is as about as usefull, to me, as a Corvette is on Mt. Everest.

    Except that the Corvette is cool, and Microsoft .NET is a spasdic mess of Windows APIs, p-code, neutered languages and FUD against Sun all wrapped in a license that sucks.
