Jay, you didn't say why you think that RMS is not for freedom for programmers. Am I correct in assuming that you think programmers want to keep their source code secret?
It this is the case, I think you are wrong. In my experience it is the management of corporations that want to keep the source code secret, while the programmers want to give it away. If you read the book "Free as in freedom" you will see that RMS has taken such a hard line on the GPL is that he wants programmers to have freedom. To RMS this means that no software should be secret. -----Original Message----- From: Jay Maynard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 02, 2004 6:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Anyone Nagios?

Careful about raising this argument...it marks you as a Stallmanite, and there are lots of us who think he's an unmitigated kook. In particular, Stallamn believes in freedom for users, but not programmers.
