Which means that my changes have fallen under that FSF licencing agreement and anybody can sell or give away my changes. The end result I won't ever make anything other than trival changes to anything owned by FSF because to make a non trival change I would have to quit my job but because I won't be able to make any money off of my changes I won't be able to pay my bills. For your information: I have written software that is freely distributable but I use the licencing agreement used by TeX and I will NEVER let it fall under FSF's licencing. -- Michael DeCorte // H215-546-0497 W386-8164 Fax386-8252 // mrd@clutx.bitnet 2300 Naudain St. "H", Phil, PA 19146 // mrd@sun.soe.clarkson.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clarkson Archive Server // commands = help, index, send, path archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu archive-server%sun.soe.clarkson.edu@omnigate.bitnet dumb1!dumb2!dumb3!smart!sun.soe.clarkson.edu!archive-server ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
