[kaffe] crazy existential question

[Philippe Laporte]

Hi,
     I totally agree with you. Fredom wins over money for me otherwise 
I'd be in something else...

My karma is still going and going and going...:-)

Are you familiar with the Maemo project? I think it's a super fair way 
of doing business with Open Source. Give and take.

Ok, so if one needs a VM on an obscure platform, they may go for Kaffe, 
if the port already exists. That does not make kaffe more portable than 
another.

Best Regards,

Philippe Laporte
