AW: [Cooker] Turboprint

2001-03-22 Thread Sebastian Werner

Cups isn't full open-sourced, too. Sometimes i think, we must power good
programms first. And, I know what free software is, but i am a little
designer and i want a good printing solution. Cups is not as good as
Turboprint!

Le 2001.03.22 19:20:33 +0400, Sebastian Werner a crit :
 Hello,

 do you ever think about TurboPrint (www.turboprint.de) as an alternative
 printer-driver. Has best printing soltutions i ever seen on Linux. Where
 cups use sometimes only ghostscript, TurboPrint is completly free and
 easy
 to configure.

Quoting from their web site :
You may not distribute the program files by any means, e.g. on WEB servers,
CDs, Linux distributions, etc. without the prior written consent of
IrseeSoft.

Are you sure you know what is free software ?

Quoted from the very first page of www.cups.org:

"CUPS is provided under the GNU GPL..."

Btw, if I don't get it wrong, turboprint is only available in binary form
now? That should be avoided as much as possible...

Sorry for replying to myself, I should have searched for more info before
posting

Turboprint is a commercial package!!! And it explicitly expressed that it
shouldn't be distributed on any media without irseesoft's
permission... why don't you buy from irseesoft directly?
