	As a community that benefits greatly from the efforts of people like
Russ Nelson - we should STRONGLY support his position. If vendors who
collect money for their products are encouraged to behave badly and
basically absorb copyrighted freeware without regards for the copyright
owner - we shall all suffer as the freeware pool goes dry.

	I, for one, shall not buy products from Xircom now or in the future.
