Yes. The coupling between clients and servers is considered loose enough that they're not the same application. For example, if there were a closed-source web server, do you think GPL web browsers should not be able to access it? Should open-source SQL clients not be able to access Oracle servers? -- Barry Margolin, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
