It may not be pertinent to the licensor's need. I very much hope it is pertinent to OSI's need to restrict use of it's service mark only to software which can be freely modified. I may be in the minority here, but I'm rather surprised to find this to be the case. -- Mark Rafn [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.dagon.net/> -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
