Remember - you could also do this. :-) Spending time supporting proprietary
software would detract from our ability to provide a great supportable and
*Free* OS for everyone, which is our main objective.
Again, where we can legally include these kinds of things in multiverse, we
will. But we don't commit a huge amount of time to unsupported software,
especially if it's not Free.
