[comp.os.minix] GNU Restrictions

frankr@inmet.UUCP (01/21/87)

I think you guys are being a little silly. The GNU stuff costs $150 if you get 
it directly from the GNU people. If you get a copy of from one of your 
friends it is *FREE* ! The GNU restrictions concerning re-distribution are 
trivial, though I admit that they seem a little odd. If you are really worried 
about RMS and crew coming after you for making incomplete copies of the GNU 
distribution, don't make any. You don't have to agree with Stallman's politics
the think the GNU stuff is great.

MINIX sounds quite exciting. I gave up on IBM PCs years ago when Macs came out.
Now I may have to get one just to check MINIX out.

I think the relationship between MINIX and GNU should be friendly. I 
Impatiently await the first port of GNU EMACS, BISON, etc. to MINIX.
