You have misunderstood freedom 0. Freedom 0 means the program does not impose limits on how you are allowed to use it. Whether it does what you want in any given situation is another question. For instance, GCC carries freedom 0, so you are allowed to pass it a Lisp program as input. But it is unlikely to compile the Lisp program in a useful way unless you modify it a lot. Even if the Lisp program is free software, it still won't compile in a C compiler. And you have no right to criticize the developers of the Lisp program for "violating freedom 0" for failing to make GCC compile it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
