Not at all: Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program, for any purpose. As I read it that refers to restrictions on the type of use, which is not what's happening in the APSL. You can still run APSL 2.0 licensed works for whatever purpose you like, but if you do so (and your use qualifies as external deployment) you must also distribute source. Though it's far from conclusive, it's worth noting that RMS clearly doesn't think the APSL runs afoul of freedom 0. -- Jeremy Hankins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint: 748F 4D16 538E 75D6 8333 9E10 D212 B5ED 37D0 0A03
