I never thought that you did; if you had then this debate would probably had been over long ago. However, I do believe he would qualify as a counterexample to the hypothesis that "Anyone who is serious about free software immediately recognises the LPPL as a non-free license." Whereas this hasn't been claimed on this list (that I know of), there has on occasion been quick dismissals of the LPPL where that hypothesis seems to have been taken for granted. :-) Lars Hellström -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
