Personally - this is just my opinion - I would use this guideline: a program is open source if the source is freely available to use, modify and redistribute (in any combination, commercially or noncommercially). Or, in other words, the same idea as https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html . That's just my opinion though. -uso. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
