Subject: Re: Dead software (was: A draft business plan for free software LISP vendors) From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1999/03/11 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3130136242952298@naggum.no> * schaffer@netcom.ca (Hartmann Schaffer) | Bad wording. The customer certainly has invested in whatever products he | bought from the company. no, that's something entirely different, and if you say that, you can't leap to the conclusion that the customer has rights at the same level as the real investors in a liquidation or bankruptcy. | The attitude that has been expressed in this thread (bad luck if you are | so stupid to buy from a company that went under) certainly helps to | encourage th buy-microsoft mindset. perhaps it encourages you that way, but I think you'd say that no matter what what the attitude was. #:Erik
