I did manage to pass logic in college. However, I don't always do so well in English. Let me restate what I meant: Software that requires a registration fee is possible, and exists. Such software cannot be considered Open Source, however. It is possible that upon registering the software, the license could convert to an Open Source license. From that point on, that copy and all derivatives of it cannot require a registration fee and remain Open Source. Does this make more sense? -- David Johnson ___________________ http://www.usermode.org
