In reply to your second, SuSE makes a limited version available for download. If you want the full bull, buy it. The license requires they make the _source_ freely available for all that is open sourced. Anything else isn't required to be opened and is at the discretion of the copyright owner. So, they are gettingalong by following the letter (I think, I haven't actually checked exactly what it is they're doing) of the license, not necessarily the spirit. That's why YAST isn't disseminated all over the place: it's proprietary. RH has been known to do similar things with some of their stuff. It's legal according to the license, and proves that MS is lying when they make some of the claims that they make. WP8 was available for a free download. The source was never made available. Corel put it as part of a default install on their linux release. They still never opened the source, so it wasn't and isn't available. And, to disprove MICROS~1, they never had to make WP8 open source just because it was included with stuff that is open sourced. But, MICROS~1 isn't required to be proven liars: everybody already knows that. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 8:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Comparisons > > > for redhat or suse? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Robert Finneran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 5:05 PM > Subject: RE: Comparisons > > > > Hi Jeff, > > > > I think he means that linux distributions are required by the GNU > > license to > > make the software available to what amounts to being free.
