"Some commercial programs may not work" is totally meaningless. Isn't it obvious? Any software in Debian IS commercial software, so why the hell it is mentioned _commercial_ software? >> Commercial, but free, software is just as likely to have these >> problems. Commercial, but free, software is a description that applies to any software DFSG compliant. Re-read my previous mail if you don't get that. So you description is meaningless. After that, you mention IBM's JDK, like if "commercial program" was a valid description of it, while the only valid description is proprietary/non-free software. > I guess he misreads the whole point of the description of "commercial > programs". Indeed, tell me what does it means, because it is clearly misleading. -- Mathieu Roy +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | General Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org/ | | Computing Homepage: http://alberich.coleumes.org/ | | Not a native english speaker: | | http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
