per XFree86's Marc Aurele But the saddest thing about all this brouhaha isn't that this assertion was ever made, nor its consequences, nor how it is supported, nor that many have been hood-winked into believing and promoting it, and nor even that similar noise isn't being made about certain other licenses in the source tree. Instead, XFree86 seems to have ended up with the dubious distinction of being the only Open Software project actively resisting the greed that has become addicted to it. For this "crime" we are berated. -------------------------- Instead of listening to the 'proposed saviours' who show up periodically to save us from our folly and show us the true path, dwell upon our supporters: those distros who have no problem with our license and are totally supportive of Open Source and not just a corporate 'version' of it. These supporters show that our license is not as unduly restrictive as the opponents claim and that their arguments are just a red herring for some 'other' agenda. So in that spirit I bid you to look at: http://www.xfree86.org/distro-support.html and code in peace, Georgina _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
