Where did you see me write that it's unique to *nix? |

I didn't. I'm just saying that Micro$oft is doing it too, and that way making double money.

that's one of the problems open-source has imho
Open-source isn't about programs being available for free. Why blame someone or a company for charging money for a program he spent hours and hours coding? It's about the SOURCES, the INFORMATION ON HOW TO CODE being available for free. And, IMHO the MSX and the 'opensource community' could benifit more from well-documented information and bits of code combined with in-depth articles than from large bits of badly documented spaghetticode.
