And I want to be politically correct of course :-) I just realized what you are getting at. I was wondering the same thing. Without starting a flame war, if Stallman represents and advances the polar opposite of what the BSD license represents, can we still support his product so heartily? SOme people go to the extreme of not using programs like AbiWord simply because they are GPLed. Others say, 'if you like the program, use it!' Tough call. -=> jm <=- If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does anybody care?
