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).
