Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything and avoid getting political with a 
group that I'm just getting started with, but I had exactly the same 
feelings when I looked at the Teamspeak client.  I was somewhat relieved 
that they have a Linux client, but the software is disappointing and the 
license is even more disappointing.

"Free for non-commercial" is a self-promotional scam, it's short sided 
to adopt a closed source program like this.

I can't say that I'm a purist, I do what I need to do in order to get my 
work done.  I have a Mac that I use to run photoshop and access fancy 
printers, but I probably wouldn't use teamspeak if it were up to me.
