  19. Heh! It is quite ironic.
  20.  
  21. But what is a few thousand dollars to company like SunSoft?
  22. Heck, we paid up to Cygnus too and I consider it good value,
  23. even if we never have to call them up for support.
  24.  
  25. SunSoft will probably sell more licenses given the availability of gcc on time.
