I know of one Palm app that distinguihes between free/GNU/whatever. "Keyring" used to be called "GNUKeyring" (http://gnukeyring.sourceforge.net/). The author of KeyRing states on his site... "a note on naming This is not an official GNU program. The original name gnukeyring was chosen in 1999 as a token of thanks to the many people who've contributed to the body of free software. The Free Software Foundation has a policy that software bearing the ``GNU'' brand should, amongst other things, run on at least one free computer system. PalmOS, though a fine technical achievement, is not free. As a result, this application has changed its name to Keyring for PalmOS to make this clearer." Note I know nothing about how all these licenses work! Just interesting how the author of the software makes the distinction. cheers Daryn The PalmHeads http://www.planetnz.com/palmheads _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
