Well, just because Microsoft already has plenty of money doesn't mean that you may choose not to pay for your copy of Office. The license requires that the source be made available. More to the point, how would someone who receives only a binary know what source was used to build it? How would he know that the manufacturer hadn't made any changes? It is the person who makes the binary who knows just what sources are used to make it, and the GPL wisely requires that this person make the exact sources available. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
