First of all, this is Matt Blaze's pet project, not a product of AT&T. It is given away for free and you should be happy to get it at all -- no one is obligated to give you a gift. Have you mailed him a Linux machine to do his testing on? Why do you assume he even has one? As it happens, he doesn't, and probably doesn't want to go through the hassle of paying for a computer and putting Linux on it.
Be happy he's given you anything at all.
If you are going to do it, do it right the first time.
Second, I really doubt Blaze has a problem obtaining access to computing power and a $25 CD should be within his budget.
Setting up and doing work on a new operating system is *WORK*. It takes time. It takes space in your lab or office. Maybe he just doesn't feel like spending that time, effort, and lab budget. Why should he? CFS is a GIFT. It isn't a product. Maybe if you paid someone to maintain a Linux version you would have one, but you aren't paying a penny. Quit looking a gift horse in the mouth. .pm
