I don't think a license that allows people to produce closed products is a good license. I think a license that allows precisely one person to produce a closed product is better than one that allows many people to do so. I still don't think it's good, but I certainly don't think it's non-free. Why is equality so much of an issue? -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
