2003-01-22 Thread David R. Morrison
Again, I beg to differ about the importance of this question. Paying careful attention to licenses is one of Fink's strengths. We have very rarely made *any* change in license policy, and the recent change to allow "Restrictive/Distributable" was thoroughly discussed on this list before it was im
