</div>I think the way to "protect" Sugar and to take a step further in the<br>
whole project is giving one step back: Sugar must be able to<br>
run on any Linux distro. I know that it is hard... but IF we are able<br>
to take this step back then Sugar (and many<br>
other things) will be in better competitive position.</blockquote><div> </div><div>Trying to "out-compete" an organization which has a history of illegal anti-competitive behavior is unwise at best.<br><br>Cheers.<br>
