It is not just possible, but is probable, that a 'tipping point'
will be reached that will cause a sharp spike in increased linux
use. If there is not an 'open source' rebol, rebol will lose out.
It seems to me that one could have an 'open source' rebol with
the 'pay per use' modules available without the source.
Note: this is my opinion, and I don't wish to be involved in
or initiate an 'OS war'.

If rebol were
1)Open source
2)A component of some usable linux feature, it may enhance
usage.
