For the people saying that this it to prevent a breach of a contractual obligation, that is BS. It would be the first operating system I've ever bought with that clause. Is it only me or is anyone else disturbed that Corel has a more strict licensce than most _closed source_ software. It is probably a mistake, but I would still rather give my money to a company that doesn't choose to Insult me (I'm 16) even if it's unintentional. Corel has made too many brain dead mistakes to get my business, and I didn't want their crappy file manager anyway.
I'm surprised no one noticed this yet but copyleft has shirts that say geek and geek pride but none dawning the name nerd.
I personally prefer the name geek over nerd because to me it just sounds better. I think this is because of the subconscious connotations I have with similar sounding words.
nerd--turd, curd, purred, lurred, heard, bird, etc.
Geek--sleak, sheik, peak, speak, creek, etc.
not exactly like those are good example but you get my point.
