The often very level-headed people at Apache Week use some interesting wording in the latest version of their online newsletter, to be found at: http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/98-04-24 I quote: "Performance Computing contains an article about <a href="http://www.performancecomputing.com/columns/web/9805.shtml">The Apache HTTP Server</a>. This article treats Apache seriously, and gives a farirly realistic assessment of its strengths and (particularly for Windows) weaknesses. It does however describe Apache code as being under the GPL license, where as in fact Apache is under a license much closer to the less restrictive FreeBSD license. For example, the Apache license allows for commercial use of the code in products which are not themselves available as source-code, subject to an "advertising" clause." Note the "less restrictive". That should catch the eye of a few Apache users, one would hope. The article they link to also refers to Linux and FreeBSD in the same breath, several times. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
