I am very appreciative of the fact that you, and many others, put in considerable amounts of free labor to make the various source archives work. However, I find this new twist of copyrighting other people's works, and then selling them *extremely* disturbing. I suspect that one immediate reaction to your scheme will be that you will see many more packages posted with a gnu-like "copyleft". -wolfgang -- Wolfgang Rupprecht wolfgang@wsrcc.com (or) uunet!wsrcc!wolfgang Snail Mail Address: Box 6524, Alexandria, VA 22306-0524
