Regarding 'open' (no pun intended) question to RMS about compatibility of AFL to GPL -
I visited with Richard last evening; he's in Austin for SXSW Interactive. I conveyed this question to him. Any of you who have carried on a conversation with Richard can understand the constrained, highly-qualified nature of both his acceptance of the question and his answer. AND, I certainly am not speaking here for him. Things I heard Richard say: - He is not going to read postings to this list, even when addressed (in some sense) to him, because he does not recognize "Open Source" as discussed around here. - People who expect and deserve an answer from him, on a subject he would speak on, should contact him via fsf.org - He does not consider the AFL to be compatible with the GPL for several reasons, including the trademark exemption issue. Just thought I'd share ... Cheers. dj ***************************************************** Don B Jarrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512 266 7126 home-office Digital Thinking Inc. 972 467 6793 cell ***************************************************** -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
