Only problem with that interpretation is that in that case, the words "and without fee" would have absolutely no purpose in the license, since "for any purpose" would already include "without fee". So IMHO it's quite clear that license-writer intended that text to mean that it can be distributed only without fee. btw, would it be possible to list licenses like this as "Maybe free" since license-text seems ambiguous and it's not 100% clear whether the license is free or not? -- Markus Laire _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
