I read about it in Time magazine! Peter da Silva: > Well, I read about it in the GNU manifesto. Where? Quotes please, from the GNU Manifesto. Maybe I'm developing Alzheimer's disease or something but I do not remember him saying he wanted to ban selling software. I've even asked him whether he wants such a thing and he says no. He has not said anything about legally making you, or Miles, or Apple, or anyone else unable to sell software. Peter must be tired of hearing this from me. I know I am tired of seeing him say things like this. It is very curious; I have a lot of respect for Peter and even agree with him on a lot of other issues on the net. But everytime I see him report things wrongly about GNU like this, and I point it out, I never see either a rebuttal or an admission of error. He just waits a couple of months and then says it again. What gives? Dave -- (setq mail '("tale@cs.rpi.edu" "tale@ai.mit.edu" "tale@rpitsmts.bitnet"))
