I don't think this should be a part of the definition of free software. Rather, it is a part of the definition of free software that is useful for a free OS. Perhaps free-sw.html should say a little about that issue as well as its current topic. -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://www.fig.org/) Committed to freedom and diversity \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
