Note that I was talking about "free software", the term coined by Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation, not "freeware", which is just software you don't have to pay for. When you redistribute free software you're required to make source code available, so obviously it's open source. -- Barry Margolin, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
