He's being disingenuous. The GPL isn't primarily about open source, it's about free software. So where the writer might be right about not needing the GPL for what's nebulously called "open source", it's most definitely needed for free software. Free software is about more than "the market". > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEPg2M1qbEs -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
