Hi,
> depends on your definition of open source. - The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). - The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. - The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). - The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this. I am talking my definition of open source with respect to freedom 1 which the free and open source freedoms promises. regards, Thyagarajan Shanmugham _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
