[geeklog-devel] RE: VMware

[Tony Bibbs]

Hi Kent,

Hey, we continue to enjoy the flexibility that VMWare gives us when
developing Geeklog (http://www.geeklog.net).  VMWare continues to be a
part of why Geeklog is so well liked in the open source world and words
only begin to express our gratitude.
I'm hoping we can continue this now that you all have released VMWare
Workstation 4.  Is it possible to get upgrade licenses for our windows and
linux 3.2 versions?
