Hmm..I'm sorry, I confused Eric Raymond's page with the opensource
concept, and since this was in an "anti-GPL" message there was a
confusion.

The opensource concept is based on Netscape's recent decision, they are
opening a space for other licenses, therefore promoting them, but they
don't are not pretending to attack GPL.

I was wrong in that GPL is also considered opensource..ah well there's
nothing new in their reasoning.

sorry for the mixup,

	Pedro.
