Oh, actually I didn't mean to separate them. I was referring to the freedom to see and modify the code in both cases where I said FREE and "free". The main point being that the freedom to distribute and modify is *the* reason why Linux and other such software *will* dominate (and it already is). Free(dom) is what makes the free (price tag) possible--in that sense it is not silly to separate them. If OO.o were simply free of cost, it would be much less of an appealing project/product. > > > > > ak > > > > > > > > -- > > > Alexandro Colorado > > > Co-Leader of OpenOffice.org Spanish > > > http://es.openoffice.org/ > > > > > > > > > > >-Chad Smith > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- > http://www.hiser-adelstein.com > (212) 372-3361 > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
