Just to nitpick, the english language has a problem with the word "free" meaning two completely different things. for completeness: free as "you don't have to pay for it", is a completely different concept from free as "with no strings attached". My language (and all the ones deriving from Latin, Latin included) have separate words for those meanings, for example (libero/libre -> no strings attached, gratis -> without paying) I suspect that the word "free" has caused a lot of misunderstanding in this area. -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
