Plain false. It is currently possible, AFAICS: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/moi$ ls index.xhtml moi.rdf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/moi$ sudo chmod go-r /bin/ls [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/moi$ ls index.xhtml moi.rdf Maybe I missed something... Remember that there is no clause in GCC license that forbids its use with proprietary software. Maybe because *this* is really supporting freedom. Rejecting an otherwise legitimate use case because it would be used for something otherwise allowed and accepted by the society but that you personally find bad is, IMHO, quite the opposite of free software. And I really think this a way of thinking and acting for free software that would cause more harm to it than good. I'm a strong advocate of free software, and I'm just trying to convince one of my customers to release the software he's paying me to develop with a free software license. I know forcing him would just bring him to think free software is dangerous. Educating him and having him to accept will be far more productive in the long term. We are here in a similar situation with confinement. Freely, Nowhere man -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A
