Heh. So why the whole agenda against non-free? Why doesn't the GPL allow non-free useage? I find this whole agenda hypocritic. Either adhere to it fully before you go on preaching about it or stop preaching it. Why isn't Ubuntu or Gentoo or <insert any other distro here> on GNU's list if it doesn't ship with non-free software by default? And if Novell is evil for making a business deal, why isn't Ubuntu evil for providing such a user-friendly access to non-free software? So, the way I see it, everyone must follow the principles, only I'm allowed to follow them at my own leisure. Oh wait. I know what'll happen. Now there will be some a couple of completely irrelevant replies, a couple of trolls and a couple of flames. I see your point - Those who can shout the loudest or use the heaviest language must be correct, right? -- ---------------------------------------- Mrugesh Karnik GPG Key 0xBA6F1DA8 Public key on http://wwwkeys.pgp.net ----------------------------------------
