You little communist, socialist prick.
A company that develops a graphics package
the caliber of Autocad deserves all the rewards
that the software brings.
If Autodesk doesn't want to write a Linux version
of Autocad it's probably because the Linux community
are known thieves and will surely find a way to steal
their intellectual property. That's the entire mindset
of Linuxers. Everything should be given freely to all
regardless of the cost.
You belong in China with your ODF attitude.
