What is it with you people? Unedited copy from the GPL and LGPL <start> When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things. <end> The authors of the license and the authors of the code placed under the license do not agree with you. People can do whatever they want with the software as long as they don't restrict others from the same right. This will never be changed. It is one of the primary reasons the license was written and is used by authors of their own code. -- http://24.197.142.167/~jack/openofficefaq.php Read the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
