Software that can me distributed and modified without any restriction. Open Source means that you can read its code source. I know some people tend to say that Open Source == Free Software but I'm not 100% sure it's the case. After all, if Microsoft shows Windows' source code to some "trusted" clients, would that make Windows Open Source (and thus Free Software) ? So, all in all, I prefer Free Software because it doesn't allow misinterpretation. > -Tim with his asbestos suit on > > - -- > - --------------------------------------------------------------- > Timothy R.
