Then for an index, check out <http://www.openosx.com/products.html> Sample -- the "OpenWeb" collection contains: * Apache Web Server 1.3.22 * PHP 4.1.1 * Tomcat 4.0 * mod_SSL 2.8.4 * SSL 0.9.6b -- 128-bit encryption * WebDAV support * pdf_lib 4.0.1 (demo mode) * OpenSSL 0.9.6b * MySQL 3.23.46 * phpMyAdmin 2.2.2 * MyODBC 2.50.38 * iODBC 3.0.5 * Free Type 2 * phpSysInfo 1.8 * OpenSSH 3.0.2p1 * GD 1.8.4 Not a bad collection for sixty bucks, but then on the other hand you can get it all for free. But on the gripping hand, they admit this. Sorta: Alternatively, you can download the source code that we compiled, documentation, follow dozens of pages of installation instructions and FAQ's (located at a multitude of different web sites), and install Apple's 600 MB Developers CD. And hopefully you can "save" $30 and get a similar configuration up and running in less then a week. And that, as dismissive as it is, seems to be as close as the site comes to admitting that the source for all of this stuff is available for no charge and with full permission to tinker. Now I have no problem with people selling GPL software -- I'm encouraged by it in fact -- but this seems to be adhering to the letter of the license while actively attacking the spirit of it. Yes, they do seem to give credit for every project and they tell you that the source can be downloaded if you want it from various points on the internet, but that's about it. Is there a legal defence for that kind of behavior? -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
