Many in the "Open Source" camp are opposed to the GPL approach. They want the "freedom" to take open software and convert it to closed software. > We're more like OS in that we don't argue but just build the hardware.=20 > Both FS and OS people will be able to use it, since the concept of=20 > freedom that the former use does not apply to hardware, and because it=20 > works just great. What concept of freedom does not apply to hardware? Hardware can be more difficult to modify than software, and making copies costs more, but the right to do so is the same. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
