and yes, I do agree, it is semantics. However, MS is not claiming their code is free (in any sense of the word) and then dropping 900 pages of legalese describing all the things you can't do with that "free" code. The same can't be said of GPL.
Don't get me wrong, I do understand what you are saying and I'm a very happy user of GPLv2 software. I just don't think it should be referred to as "free". Open? Yes. Free? No. Those are my semantics and the semantics of the people who have claimed what I'm claiming: that GPL code is not truly free. - Posted by: NonZealot Posted on: 06/13/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
