Nonsense. Price-fixing is a voluntary agreement between parties to the detriment of other parties. But heeding an existing license is not a bilateral agreement, and everybody else is free to use and extend the software under the same license as everybody else. Agreement and compliance are different things. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
