I think > you are reading too much into "Inc". I think Chris is simply misreading this. The German law is much different in this field, you'll actually not even be able to form a non-profit Inc. here. (That's a big danger for the leaders of a German `Verein', and i guess only a few people do actually know this.) I think, if it's done in a way similar to XFree86, Inc., this will be a nice thing. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
