[OCLUG-Tech] Re: MERX RFI on "no cost licensed software"

I've already started a wiki at

http://macnash.telfer.uottawa.ca/rfi-EE01518733

If you want a login, please contact me off-list. I need to make sure
anyone who has access is "real". uOttawa won't allow commercial messages,
but I have no problems with folk identifying their affiliations, in fact,
I rather insist on it to maintain transparency and "open source" flavour.
