No, I really am lost here. Is your argument: a) compulsion of provision of freedoms (as in the GPL, for instance) is non-free, or b) compulsion of provision one set of freedoms to some people and a different set to others is non-free If the first is free, I have difficulty in seeing how the second is non-free (providing, of course, that either set of freedoms in option b would be free on its own) -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
