1. Everyone is, more or less, free to do whatever they wish. 2. GNOME will only host and endorse free software. > Why not open-source software? I don't think we need to get into the free software vs. open source debate here. The main point where they differ is not whether any given code *on the Internet* is free/open (and that's the important part here), but whether certain conditions, such as Tivoization, may turn the code into non-free/closed. -- Osama Khalid English-to-Arabic translator and programmer. http://osamak.wordpress.com | http://tinyogg.com _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
