Compatible in terms of copyright? As the sole holder of Jami's copyright, Savoir-faire Linux can sub-license the code any way they like. Compatible in terms of philosophy, ethics? I am not fully sure, so don't quote me on that, but I seem to recall RMS having written some words in a article about it saying that if it allowed to fund the development of free software, the practice could be acceptable or a lesser evil. If someone can find the source of that article, that'd be nice (I couldn't). -- Thanks, Maxim
