If you deleted all reference to the availability of source, then this would just become a free executable, and there are plenty of those around. Adding a paragrph offering source for money doesn't make the binary any less useful. P.S. I have seen quite a few opinions expressed here and I have generally resisted trying to respond to all of them. I'm saving all opinions expressed rather trying to argue with anybody. Let's just call it an exercise in fact-finding. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!dhesi ARPA: dhesi@bsu-cs.bsu.edu
