-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I had a look at this book... apparently on politics of copyleft and OSS
Copy, Rip, Burn by David M. Berry Pluto Press, 2008 On page 15, the author writes " In contrast, software that is sold or distributed with the source code, which provides no restrictions on further copying and modification, is known as free software or open source.

All in all a market economist looking at the OSS and FOSS movements with plenty of borrowed quotes and no real substance or originality. Best A. Mani -- A. Mani Member, Cal. Math.
