It fails the most basic open-source definition, you are not allowed to modify it nor to redistribute that modification. The DFSG requires that all shipped files are conform with it. The specification itself doesn't have to be free, but it's part of the distribution. RFCs for example are in the same boat with it. You are not allowed to modify and/or distribute but implement them. -- Regards, Mirco 'meebey' Bauer PGP-Key ID: 0xEEF946C8 FOSS Developer mee...@meebey.net http://www.meebey.net/ PEAR Developer mee...@php.net http://pear.php.net/ Debian Developer mee...@debian.org http://www.debian.org/ _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
