But I had read the entire thread, the license, and done other research on the question. And I claimed no power; merely made reasoned arguments and provided evidence for or against the arguments of others.. >> "Brian, i ask you to not [...] to participate in this thread [...].

I think it would likely end up in non-free, since it's clearly freely distributable. It depends on how likely Debian and its mirrors are to have to send libc or readline to INRIA/Cristal. > So, i apologize for being upset and harsh, i clearly should have not.

You can't apologize for calling me a clueless idiot in the same message in which you defend calling me a clueless idiot and expect to be taken seriously with either. -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
