What is it that you think I'm saying that I can't support? RMS has stated that it's wrong to sell software at a price that will allow you to recover your development costs: he wants you to give it away for effectively media charge. If you use any GNU code in your program, it falls under section 2b of the license and you have to give it away. > 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.

I repeat the paragraph above in some form or other, and you either ignore it or tell me that I didn't mean what I thought I said. > He just waits a couple of months and then says it > again. What gives? Damned if I know. -- Peter "Have you hugged your wolf today" da Silva `-_-' 'U` "I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere"
