Nothing I said should in any way be construed to mean that Perl, or any part of it, is in any way solely GPLed. I have no idea where you would have gotten such an impression. See above, where I point out that Perl is dual-licensed -- *not* solely GPLed. Also see the rest of what I said in the earlier email, in text you cut out of the quote, indicating that for my purposes Perl is installed under terms of the Perl Artistic License (and not the GPL). Nothing you have said suggests at all that my statement was incorrect, except the two words "not correct". -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Dr. Ron Paul: "Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons." _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
