I'm sorry, Jonathon, I thought that was clear. Stormy proposed the following statement on behalf of GNOME in her message of this past Friday on this thread: > The GNOME Foundation believes in free software and promotes free software but > that does not mean that GNOME is anti-proprietary software.

I've suggested that the first sentence should instead read something like "The GNOME Foundation believes in and promotes free/open source software..." Hope this clarifies things. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
