Not to mention Linux! There are too many Unix's for most commercial vendors
to support. Especially those vendors who don't focus on server software. If
we were giving away source code it would be no problem. But we spent a lot
of valuable engineering time developing this code and we aren't going to
give it away. And since engineering time is so valuable, we simply can't
support every unix out there.
