I'm not gonna dare use any GNU software if he's resorting to this sort of subterfuge to sneak GNUware status into *my* code. Or rather, only for text stuff that I can check by hand (and belive me, I *will* check by hand!). > Anyway, I refuse to use any tool that makes such a restriction on > it's use (even if such a restriction is totally unenforcable!) Fersure. Me too. Probably lots of other people; this sort of thing strikes me as rather shooting himself in the foot. How come GNU Emacs doesn't stamp a GNU notice (in whatever flavor of comments are appropriate) on any file you edit with it?? (Probably because people would almost certainly notice - with bison they probably won't.) der Mouse USA: {ihnp4,decvax,akgua,utzoo,etc}!utcsri!musocs!mcgill-vision!mouse think!mosart!mcgill-vision!mouse Europe: mcvax!decvax!utcsri!musocs!mcgill-vision!mouse ARPAnet: think!mosart!mcgill-vision!mouse@harvard.harvard.edu
