Hi Chrysn, Ben's explanation is accurate, and from looking at their website it seems that they never distribute source code, so people who use this software do not have the necessary freedoms for it to be free software.
Also, for anyone interested in contributing to Wikipedia's coverage of free software topics there is WikiProject_Free_Software which has todo lists where you can find or add tasks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WPFS And the free software portal presents the existing content: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Free_software Chrysn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > as far as i know (or read [3]), the apache license is a non-viral free > software license A small point: All free software licences are non-viral. Software will never turn into GPL'd software just by touching software that is under the GPL. The GPL is a copyleft or "reciprocal" licence. -- Ciarán O'Riordan __________________ \ http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3 http://ciaran.compsoc.com/ _________ \ GPLv3 and other work supported by http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/weblog \ Fellowship: http://www.fsfe.org _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
