He is *not* against selling software. He does not |prohibit it. You (yes you) can sell GNU software for any price you want. |The catch is (a) you must provide or make available the source, and (b) |you can't prohibit further redistribution. Nope. I said that this was apparently how he felt, based on everything I had read at the time, including quotes attributed to him in several magazines and this group. Now I'm not convinced ANYbody here knows what RMS REALLY thinks. SO, I intend to ask him. Film at 11. -Miles O'Neal {yr fave backbone here}!emory!stiatl!meo
