To hear the press squeak, you would think that MNF was made entirely of OSS 
that had been closed (not legally possible for 75% of what's on there, and 
Gael knows that).

AFACIT...

 * if you want to use the `$0' version, unsupported, go for it

 * if you want support, you pay per server, which is fair

 * it is not clear what parts of the `$0' version are covered by the
   commercial clauses; since all of the pieces except for a little
   blue Mandrake glue are available elsewhere, and usually under the
   GPL, it seems 100% legal to use all but the restricted `blue glue'
   software under the previous conditions of use.

Who do I contact to get a clarifying press release out of Mandrake?

Cheers; Leon
