Linux users will need a Microsoft Office license to use Office Web Apps

,----[ Quote ]
| Still, it seems to me that this licensing 
| requirement will inhibit organisations from 
| taking full advantage of what the Office 
| Web Apps can do. The advantage of a web-
| based solution is that anyone can access 
| it, both within an organisation, and beyond 
| it if you choose to publish it on the 
| Internet. I doubt there will be much 
| enthusiasm for buying Office licenses for 
| Linux users, though maybe the kind of 
| organisation that has a full Microsoft-
| platform deployment does not have internal 
| Linux users anyway.
