-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Umm sorry, I can't agree. This group is not just restricted to Free\GNU software, but, if you got through the archives you'll find discussions on BSD also. The primary focus of this group is to bring users of Free\Libre\Open Source\BSD and all the various other Licenses\philosophies together in an attempt to aid each other as we stumble on our way to computing nirvana.
Please do not make such strong advocacy for any particular license\philosophy to this list and potentially start a flame war.
