Distribution does require accepting the terms of the agreement.

I would have put there "internet connection" instead of TV ;-) . But you confuse a bunch of terms here: * Free software is still licensed (unless in the public domain). though with a rather permissive license. * You must still respect that license when distributing it * It should not impose usage limitations * nobody said it should not nag. However you're free to remove nags. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
