***** GB => Goswin Brederlow Hi Goswin,
a little note just to emphasize patents don't make free software any bit non-free. So GIFs and the Gimp isn't really a good example (and gimp-nonfree is misnamed), choose please another one. The only one thing that can make a piece of software non free is the lack of willingness of its author(s) to cooperate with other people, and precisely this happens when this sad desire is clearly expressed in its license. Go bravely lobbying such dark-side authors and suggest them to make their software free, for the sake of all of us. :-) Regards, -- Davide G. M.
