The value of an ICQ server with a singular user is pretty low. The value there lies not in the software itself, but the network effects and the people you can talk to. Likewise, a lot of the value in using various cloud services is not in the software implementations. It's in how they are run, that there's «always» capacity available and so on. I think this is important, because those are attributes that can't be packaged. Having the source (and redistribution rights) to some cloud provider's software would not really put us that much closer to having what they offer and make them attractive. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
