I would like to add one further thought, which relates to your other comments about stare decisis, which is that acceptance of a concept by the FSF, or approval by the FSF of a specific license embodying a concept, should not be considered binding on the OSI. The FSF is not infallible, and as with any other organisation has made its own share of mistakes. -- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://www.flora.ca/> Please help us tell the Canadian Parliament to protect our property rights as owners of Information Technology.
