Grrrrrrrr. Nobody has a trademark on Open Source, so he can call it that if he wants. But he's gonna annoy a lot of people who download it only to find out that it's not directly buildable. So, okay, somebody will write a Makefile, and create a derivative work which includes the Makefile. If he intends that to be the only obstacle to people making derivative works, he will fail. -- -russ nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | It's a crime, not an act 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | of war.
