Freeware? Linux is not freeware.

Komal
did you miss the open source before freeware ?


<nitpicking-mood>
So which component of the system would you be calling a freeware? The ones you mentioned are certainly not.

I wish people erase the word "freeware" from their dictionary. It is a much abused term. There is nothing called freeware - if you want to refer to the licence under which it is available, use terms like "public-domain", "proprietary restricted", etc. etc.
