The _Linux Programmers Guide_ is non-free because its license contains this: "If you make money with it the authors want a share." The LDP license is free except for the prohibition on derivatives. IMHO this should be permitted but deprecated, but others do not agree. The _Linux Kernel_ license is the same as the LDP one. BTW the LDP license contradicts itself somewhat in that it forbids derivatives while permitting partial copies. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
