That's why I used the "big F" in Free, and also said "not open source" in the same sentence. "Free" != "free". I associate the term "[Oo]pen [Ss]ource" more closely with BSD-style licenses, and I suspect I'm not alone. Those licenses are just a tiny, almost nonexistent step away from "do anything as you see fit", which definitely DOES NOT describe Linux's license accurately. But that's probably just stirring the hornet's nest. Yea, definitely--- I can almost hear the buzzing already. Ouch! <waves hands, runs> :) b.g. -- Bill Gatliff bgat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm FAQ: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/faq.php Etiquette: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/etiquette.php
