Pages on gnu.org are just HTML, with SSI. And we have the capability to host pages in other layouts on fsf.org when there is a good reason to. We seem to be going in circles at this point, and you've heard my thoughts, so I'll wait to see what you come up with. :) I think that if you come up with a concise, attractive way to introduce the definition of free software, then we would really like to host that on fsf.org or gnu.org, and point people toward it, and I hope you will give us the opportunity to do that. I also think adoption of the label would benefit significantly from direct connection with the organization that already maintains a very widely used definition of free software. -john -- John Sullivan | Executive Director, Free Software Foundation GPG Key: 61A0963B | http://identi.ca/johnsu01 | http://fsf.org/blogs/RSS Do you use free software?
