No, I didn't want to imply that. Most licences are the same. That's what I wanted to say. And that it is not always that clear, whether a license is still free or not. And that there may be different opinions on some edge cases. > The OSI accept freely non-free software licenses, whilst the FSF does not. To quote the Free Software Definition: | Sometimes a license requirement raises an issue that calls for extensive | thought, including discussions with a lawyer, before we can decide if | the requirement is acceptable. So also the FSF says, that it is not always that clear. -- AKFoerster _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
