Even if they have made the source code available for everything they've done with regards to Mailman (which includes all their proprietary management tools), this is not the same thing as contributing that code back to the Mailman project. Likewise, webmin also includes a component for managing Mailman, and all their code is publicly available, but we don't say that webmin has contributed all their code back to the Mailman project. Same any other group that takes our code and makes modifications to it -- even if they make all their source code publicly available, that's not the same thing as contributing it back to the Mailman project. > Compare that to cPanel where the best you find if you're not a > customer is a half-backed and outdated patch (which I was provided > only after persistent requests). That is worse, yes. But that's also not the point. > Disclaimer: I don't know anything about the Apple packages and the > only Apple product I own is an iPod. :) Whereas I was an Apple fan from 1982, back in the original Apple ][ days, and before the introduction of the 16K language card, the Apple II+, the Apple IIe, the Apple //c, or any other more recent Apple product. I've been a MacFanatic since December of 1983 when I saw an early prototype behind closed doors. I've been a Mac owner since the day when I bought a Mac SE -- before the internal hard drive model was available. I've got a long history with the company, but I'm not blind to things that they do poorly. At least, not totally blind. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trend Micro has announced that they will cancel the stop.mail-abuse.org mail forwarding service as of 15 November 2006.
