actually it does. What can you (legally) do with that changed source?
Nothing. Can you give it to me in binary form? no. Can you give it to me
in source form? no. Can you give it to me in a diff. No. It might as well
be the old AT&T unix license. Yeah it's still better than say Windows,
but it isn't GNU/Linux, it isn't xfree86, it isn't apache, it isn't perl,
it isn't Open Source; but the more people who will buy into Sun's diluted
concept the more they and the popular press will forget the real meaning.
Please don't feed their delusions.
now the forces of openness
have a powerful and
unexpected new ally
