Well, this thread has quickly gone of into the weeds, as to most discussions of Stallman's religion. Cultures and economies improve when there is specialization of labor. Some farm, some are blacksmiths, some bakers, some retailers. There are lots of Free Software licenses out there. Apache's, BSD's and MITs are examples of free licenses that are free of the Stallman virus. The proof that Stallman is right on everything is clear, since we are all running Gnu/Hurd. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
