Does this remind anyone else of the word 'discrimination' ? I am not sure, but I think that you can't say 'public domain' and 'this and that cannot use the code'. It's either in the public domain, and everyone can use it as they see fit, or it isn't and only a few selected people can use it. But I'm off on a tangent here. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
