This is my first letter I write you. I have a queston about licence of use of freebsd and application. There are found many kinds of pruducts using freebsd and linux at Interop 99 Tokyo started yesterday. Hitachi liked to sell convienient DHCP Server based on freebsd and WIDE-DHCP and some company liked to sell CD-ROM server based on Linux. 1)What they try to sell lead you to take loss or not? 2)Do you know there are many such kinds of products in the market, now. 3)If you complained these kind of products, they can distribute their software at free of charge seperately from their hardware. They are saying they can use linux and freebsd in their products because they are free and there are many such kind of products in TAIWAN. And they says they are selling their hardware and linux/freebsd instalation services not Unix themselves. I don't like to see the trouble of copyright or something like that after our purchases.
