Hey dak, his source is Mr. GNU President RMS. http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/words-to-avoid.html ------ "Freeware" Please don't use the term "freeware" as a synonym for "free software." The term "freeware" was used often in the 1980s for programs released only as executables, with source code not available. ------ regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
