I'm afraid Eric is. It says this in Apple's license FAQ. Yesterday, SPI and Bruce Perens sent Apple a gentle open letter, welcoming the move, but not proclaiming it OS. http://perens.com/APSL.html Today (at least, today in my personal time zone ;), Eric rebutted that, at http://lwn.net/1999/0318/a/raymond.html If I gather from the above that you don't have web access from where you are, Richard, I'm happy to email you any/all of the above.
