Debian consista of about ten thousand different programs, which we have packaged into separate packages. Many programs have a unique license, specific only to itself. The programs in the "main" section of Debian all follow our guidelines for freedom. See http://www.debian.org/intro/about and http://www.debian.org/intro/free and http://www.debian.org/social_contract for more information. > 2) Is it permissible to use debian commercially (not redevelop > the source code, only to use the OS to run a database and some other > applications) without having to make the application source for the > applications we develop free publicly? Yes, for the programs in our "main" section. For programs that are not there, but in our "non-free" section, you have to check the license of each program separately. -- You need fewer comments, if you choose your names carefully. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
