And you are not getting mine ! In *spirit* you can say all free software is open source software. The source code of all free software *must* be available for freedom. 1 : The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs. Linux is free software. Linux is open source software in sense that the source code is available. Please note, I am not speaking of licensing in any of my previous mails. I am not speaking of Open Source tm, OSI Certification, or Open Source Development Methodology. >There are licenses which are OSI certified but not Free Software and vice > versa. Ok, this is interesting. I would like to know which licenses would make some software Free Software but not Open Source software. Or rather checking out the meaning of Free software : http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and Open Source Software: http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php come up with condition which would make some software Free Software but not Open Source software. -Devendra. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
