I asked cPanel a few years ago. I got the run-around and they closed the support ticket 2 or 3 times without providing any source or diffs. Only after persisting did they send me a link to a half-assed diff that I know didn't match all that they changed. I've since had the displeasure of working on a cPanel hosted system and there is a source directory for mailman. If anyone's really curious, I'll diff it against whatever the official source release they're claiming it is. They may be honoring the letter of the license, but they deserve the shit they get here for abusing the spirit of it so badly. If I made changes to Mailman that caused a regular stream of frequently asked questions I'd fix the problems or get involved in helping answer them just so I could sleep at night. cPanel doesn't do that and they are charging folks good money to package up free software. That leaves a bad taste in *my* mouth, and I'm not even a significant contributor to Mailman. - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== The more laws, the less justice. -- Marcus Tullius Cicero "De Officiis", 44 B.C. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iQFDBAEBAgAtBQJE+CMLJhhodHRwOi8vd3d3LnBvYm94LmNvbS9+dG16L3BncC90 bXouYXNjAAoJEEMlk4u+rwzj8hIH/2wPr7N2DRiWA/domQpwv9uylQea2a8ilIec A29uZeuZyy0vIQiV6qGvrhUdkE/9e/GQBG09+vias5I2U7g9H/4zer9G+esNDm1c 1S6Wag/KzT75/wDIamqb0PyXDuiwq1yAye5cCdPRnKaPWtjLJzTsycPgXmXmDx4v OGF1+NNuOXh1jvA+XQXl7sLTh/bSewgu0QdZIeMYnd+WNoC27eWWin3g6n7CjVNi j87yBzu5pHbW+Maj4EL0opShnmelTpNyst+iqRtwAU5KEq5sC6U7DE5rX9s7xSWM RYK8KCqq4rK7IyplyMtnXgVbhGQydi3VkRDm3eF1+RguZbIl9bc= =E9Gk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
