> So again i repeat my argument the freedom 2 says: "The freedom to > /redistribute/ and make copies __so you can help your neighbour.__" I used the term "help your neighbor" to describe the purpose of freedom 2 because "help your neighbor" is a traditional way to refer to cooperating with your community and with the rest of society. I never intended it to mean that your use of freedom 2 was limited to people that live near you. Yeara ago I realized that people were getting the wrong idea from that word, so I started saying it differently. But it took a long tine to recognize and replace the old wording in writing. If you see anything which describes freedom 2 using the word "neighbor", please try to get it corrected. If you see this on gnu.org, please report it to [email protected]. Whether you redistribute a free program to any given user is your choice. Freedom 2 says you are free to do so, when you wish. However, as long as you're distributing the source code, it is always your choice whether to do it in any specific instance. (The GNU GPL has a special rule for distributing a compiled form without source code. If you do that in certain ways, you will be required to make the source code available laler. That is so you can't deny source code to the community.) -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
