I don't have a black list of people forbidden from distributing zoo, if
that's what you were implying.  All that CompuServe has to do is put
zoo in an area on which it does not claim a compilation copyright, and
charge $8/hour or less for 1200 bps downloads from that area.  If you
would like to see zoo 2.x distributed on CompuServe, talk to an
representative of the company and explain to him how to do it.

It's not a question of gripes.  It's a question of keeping free
software free, or as near free as will let people distribute it without
losing money.
