Subject: Merger

The recent discussion on the significance of the merger of two
companies which market molecular modeling software has rekindled
my interest in a certain question, namely: why is everyone 
bothering with canned commercial software? I much prefer to
see free software, distributed with complete source code
according to the GNU public license agreement and supported
by its user community. It just seems as though anything less
than that standard amounts to buying a pig in a poke.

From that standpoint, who cares if these companies merge or not?
