Well you have to explain to people what "source" is and that it's not enough just to "open" it, you have to have certain rights as well. And then people try to apply "open source" to art or politics and they get really confused. So it's not really simpler. It just adds an extra level of indirection to the confusion. ;-) - - Rob. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjIIlEACgkQCZbRMCZZBfZxWwCeM4hBVlTSj5i9PtRDew0CLce6 pWUAn0kD13bkjxbcOBqNvSEA5/CGf4c6 =mjLM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
