The Full name of the Hamakor is "Israeli society for Free and Open Source Software". Both the fact that we state both terms and that we seperate the terms are meaningful. We distinguish that they are two seperate ideological streams but at the same time believe that at the practical level both share much in common and have many non conflicting interests. Enough so, that we wish HaMakor to be home to people who consider themselves to be part of both movements without giving up their unique ideological views. *Personally*, that is, speaking as Gilad and not as represetnative of HaMakor, I suspect that they compliment each other - they are two seperate "arguments", if you'd like, to do the same thing. Now that was a trick question :-) Gilad. -- Gilad Ben-Yossef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://benyossef.com "Geeks rock bands cool name #8192: RAID against the machine" ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
