There's a flaw in one of them that prevents people from being able to exercise their freedoms to a sufficient degree. (You can't easily advertise use or support for it. If the Linux kernel was under that license, not even SourceForge could put up a "Free Linux hosting for open source projects!" ad; the name "Debian GNU/Linux" might even cause problems. Probably the only reason it hasn't caused problems is that it's probably unenforcable, but that's a dangerous reason to call something "free".) -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
